OK, so I went and took the online course for EMT's.
Yeah, I lied, so what?
Anyway, after taking the course, and watching the thing in action, I've decided this thing gets the AMJ Seal of Approval.
There were some good endorsements from a doctor who seemed to know what he was talking about.
I'm going to buy the "Non-installed" version, cause I'm all about sharing.
I don't plan to use it on my own, since I don't ride around with a back board and a C collar, but I will have it handy for EMT's to use, if they need to establish an airway.
Otherwise, I'm still opting for "leave my shit alone till we get there".
Oh, for you non-believers....
