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.

Too long. Most people who don't wear helmets will already say that it's too much trouble. I wear a helmet all the time, and having to inflate one would cause me to grab something else.
I wear one most of the time, but sometimes I took transit somewhere and decide I want to make a detour and rent an ebike, and since I didn't plan for that I don't have my helmet with me. For me the trouble is dragging a helmet around clipped to my bag that may or may not be used and that I have to be careful to not drop too hard. I wouldn't mind having to spend 30 seconds to inflate one if it's got the convenience of deflating flat to throw in my backpack.
Edit: While I'm definitely the target market for this thing, £350 is a bit steep for this kind of convenience.
In your case, consider a folding helmet that doesn't require inflating. Best of both worlds!
I had no idea folding helmets were a thing. Thanks!
I had no idea there was such a thing, thanks for that.
Most likelier scenario is you will just keep the helmet inflated. But now with added chore of checking your helmet pressure.
Now when there's a crash, the question won't be "was the cyclist wearing a helmet", but "what PSI did they keep that helmet at?".
The debate for helmet PSI will rage across the internet for years to come! 😂
KPa surely ? :)
