Let's ban all airbags because of the takata recall! They are all controlled by computers! Let's ban rock climbing rope because they could miss something in QA! Let's ban seat belts, Honda had a 300k recall so there is plenty of room for mistakes happening there!

I can make shit up related to safety gear all day because it's just paranoia and a lot of anti corporatism under a thin veil.

They have sold millions of these things. Zero failures related to the hysteria here. Zero. You can make a great argument about the morals of profiting from safety gear. But at the end of the day they have made safety gear more accessible. Their shit does and has saved lives. This theoretical imaginary not deploying has afftected 0.

So what we're left with is more safety gear being deployed and saving lives right now, at a long term overall cost than buying outright and will disproportionately affect the poor? And that's an insane value proposition? Far from perfect in my view but I bet if you ask anyone on the subscription plan who has crashed a bike they'd disagree and probably not own the airbag.
