Born to Ride. Built to Protect.
Christopher Henderson’s 2024 Malink Safety Belt redefines trust on the road.

Visionary inventor and entrepreneur Christopher Henderson has turned a near-tragedy into a groundbreaking innovation that’s set to redefine safety for motorcycle and recreational vehicle enthusiasts worldwide. With the official 2024 release of the Malink Tandem Safety Belt, Henderson introduces a design 25 years in the making — a revolutionary product born from love, perseverance, and purpose.
What began as a father-and-son bonding experience decades ago has evolved into a movement for safety and connection. The inspiration for the Malink brand traces back to the 1990s when Christopher and his 7-year-old son, Malik, regularly took joy rides together on his new Yamaha motorcycle. Malik, the curious and fearless child who gave the product its name, was always thrilled to hop on and experience the thrill of the open road.
But during one long ride, the rhythm of the road lulled Malik to sleep. In an instant, Christopher felt his son start to slip off the side of the bike. “All I could think was, ‘Oh my God, my baby!’” Henderson recalls. “By the grace of God, I caught him in time. That moment changed me forever.”

That terrifying close call sparked an idea that would later become the Malink Tandem Safety Belt — a secure harness designed to safely connect a passenger, especially a child, to the operator of a motorcycle or recreational vehicle.
After the incident, Christopher searched high and low for a safety device that could prevent such accidents — but nothing like it existed. So, he decided to build it himself.
A Dream Deferred, Then Revived
In 2005–2006, Henderson filed for a patent-pending design and began developing an early prototype. But after years of trial and error, the product didn’t yet meet his exacting standards. “I wasn’t satisfied,” he admits. “I wanted it to be perfect — something that truly protected and performed flawlessly.”
Disheartened but not defeated, Christopher temporarily set the project aside. Still, the vision never left his heart.
Then, in 2023, after nearly two decades, he decided it was time. Fueled by experience, modern technology, and a renewed sense of purpose, Henderson revived the Malink project and perfected the design that had been waiting for its moment.
Now, in 2024, he proudly introduces a completely reimagined and modernized Malink Tandem Safety Belt — an elegant, ergonomic, and fully functional work of art that combines safety, comfort, and innovation like never before.

From Inspiration to Innovation
The new Malink Tandem Safety Belt is more than just a product — it’s the embodiment of Henderson’s relentless determination and his devotion to protecting families everywhere. Engineered for riders of all kinds, the Malink system ensures passengers stay securely connected during rides, reducing the risk of falls, injuries, and tragic accidents.
But beyond its technical brilliance, the Malink story is one of faith, family, and fulfillment. Henderson’s journey represents what happens when passion meets purpose — when someone refuses to let a good idea die, no matter how long it takes to perfect it.
“Malink isn’t just about safety,” says Henderson. “It’s about peace of mind, connection, and trust — knowing your loved one is secure behind you while you both enjoy the journey.”
A New Chapter in St. Louis
Recently relocating to St. Louis, Missouri, Christopher Henderson is now positioning Malink as a rising national brand rooted in innovation and compassion. His vision extends far beyond the open road — he wants to inspire creators, protect families, and build a safer future for recreational riders everywhere.
As Henderson proudly says, “This is more than a safety belt. It’s a legacy — one built for every father, mother, and child who loves to ride.”
With the 2024 Malink Tandem Safety Belt officially launching, Christopher Henderson’s dream has come full circle — from a moment of fear to a mission of safety. What was once an idea born from instinct is now a reality ready to save lives.
The world is watching, and one thing is clear: Malink isn’t just changing the ride — it’s changing the future.
