Are they fun, Oh yea!!! But then some folks just don't like them at all. Not a lot of fence sitters here.

They are pretty safe too. As long as you don't have any heart problems or implanted electronics such pacemakers or medication despensers the main thing to keep in mind is keep them away form the eyes and ears.

As for the try before you buy, there are several leather stores in the Atlanta area that sell them. If you stop buy the next time you are in town I bet they will be glad to show their wares. Or if you attend any local munchs etc. ask arround, they are reasonably popular and most people who have them like to show them off.
