Serious question: how likely is this to stand up to regulatory scrutiny? Given that they seem to be incorporated in the US and the EU, if a rider dies because the vest didn't inflate and, say, their family sues the company, is the company likely to fold into oblivion so no one tries this dumb stunt again?
If I remember correctly, this was what led to auto safety features in the first place (IE Nader's Unsafe At Any Speed).
- heavyset_go 5y agoIn the US, the regulatory car is on fire and there's no driver at the wheel.
- dharmab 5y agoLOL there's barely any regulation of motorcycle safety in the US. ABS brakes aren't even mandated here. Pretty much the only regulation is the laughably bad DOT helmet standard.
