Activity Comparison

The graph below shows a comparison of the intensity of the g-forces endured during various activites, both for rider and ride.

The values shown are multiples of the standard deviation (stdDev) for each activity, which gives a good indication of overall shock intensity. On average for our data sets, about 80% of the time falls within 1 stdDev, 15% falls within 2X stdDevs, 3% falls within 3X stdDevs, and the remaining 2% fall between 3X stdDevs and the maximum sustained g-force.

Here's a brief description about each activity listed above:

Car

Logger device riding in a 1 hour car ride

Mtn Bike Rider

Logger device in a small hydration backpack during a 1 hour mtn bike ride.

Hiker

Logger device in a backpack on a 6 hour mountian hike

Horse Rider

Logger device in a backpack on a 3 hour horse ride

Mtn Bike

Wireless device placed on the handlebars of a mtn bike during a 1 hour mtn bike ride. The bike did have a front shock and a small rear shock.

Horse

Wireless device placed in a saddlebag for a 3 hour horse ride

Mtn Bike Shock

Wireless device placed near the front axle of a mountain bike with a front shock, showing the forces acting on the shock itself.
