After much thought, I've decided to cancel all further trials of my innovative sword-based breaking system. While the system is highly effective, it would appear that the stopping power is much stronger than anticipated resulting in a braking action that is a little too fast for the average rider to properly react to. The response time is sudden enough that the subsequent risk of injury to that rider is unacceptably high. Perhaps with this will improve in the future as promising light saber technologies continue to be refined. Until then, this project is CANCELLED.

Anyone with a research interest in this project may view the trial data here:

This is bullshit Dan. You only gave it one shot. I really think you're onto something here.

Don't give up! Maybe start a kickstarter. Get some funding.

It is kind of on par with other braking systems on kickstarter

Totally! Scott will probably buy one if you put it on kickstarter.
