Clem. I seem to remember you used the example of arse cancer as a
jocular aside a few years ago.
I'm sure this will be of interest to you:

Motorcycle Cancer Seat Patent Granted
If you ride a motorcycle and are concerned about your vital organs, you
should read on. The United Kingdom has granted a patent to Canadian
inventor Randall Dale Chipkar for his innovative
"electromagnetic-shielding motorcycle seat," an invention is designed to
shield motorcycle electromagnetic field radiation from penetrating a
rider's vital organs.
According to Chipkar, various types of extremely low frequency (ELF)
electromagnetic field (EMF) radiations have been linked to health
disorders including cancer. Many motorcycles generate excessive ELF EMF
radiation up through the seat penetrating directly into the rider's
groin and torso. The prostate is of major concern as it is one of the
closest delicate glands that could be invaded by the radiation, and the
colon and neighboring organs are also at risk, Chipkar said.
ELF EMF radiation at close exposure is unnatural and over time could
have devastating biological consequences, said Chipkar, who is the
author of the book Motorcycle Cancer? Major organizations now agree that
ELF EMF magnetic fields are a possible carcinogen, and he noted he
created his safety seat because people should not have to gamble with
their health because they love riding motorcycles.
Chipkar said "I am now open to licensing or even selling some of my
worldwide patents as long as I am assured the seats can reach consumers
immediately. Hopefully, this new seat will revolutionize the motorcycle
industry to keep riders safer. Let's put 'true freedom' back into riding
motorcycles!"
