The exposed metal components of the Cockpit are cushioned and upholstered to prevent injury in the case of a crash or jolt due to a sudden maneuver. We also recommend securely harnessing the dog into the Cockpit using webbing or tethers and a purpose-made riding harness.
We further recommend goggles – Rex Specs is our brand of choice – to prevent eye injury or infection. Rex Specs also makes ear protection apparel – Ear Pro – that might safeguard the dog against prolonged loud noise exposure. Lastly, a cooling vest or jacket might be appropriate when riding in hot or cold temperatures. Keep in mind that the dog might experience low relative temperatures due to wind chill when riding at high speed.
