Wait so I am pretty sure that’s not allowed by safety regs? They could get sued pretty badly for this unless I am mistaken.
I assume it's an aftermarket device and not a part of the vehicles safety regulations or mandatory on a bike. Probably bypasses anything that would get them in trouble.
Which safety regs? I mean, specifically.
I don’t know about this product, so I just looked it up, but my understanding is any product offering safety has some regulations, like bicycle helmets. Here’s what I found about airbag vests: https://afmb.bike/en/motorcycle-airbag-vest-standards-and-regulations/
Stop giving these fuckers ideas for fuck sake! Do you want a bike helmet that splits open into two halves mid fall because your haven't signed up to their newsletter and liked them on Facebook?!
