It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Exactly. It's cheap, light, and performant. Helmets have one job, to protect your brain, and relying on "balloons" adds extra points of failure in the event that you get in an accident. Sure, this helmet can deflate and be carried in a bag, but how are its crash ratings?
And do those crash ratings still apply when it's -15C or 35C? Inflatable things don't like temperature extremes, so this would have to be tested at all ranges.
