If they're going to do something like this (and honestly, their pricing model isn't terrible. $798 upfront vs $858 over 3 years or $930 over 36 months equates to 2.5% or 5.5% APR simple interest -- way cheaper than credit card debt, and without having to maintain their own financing system or repoing from people who default), they should add some actuator to make it impossible to put on when the subscription isn't paid. I don't think that's necessary for a lot of products, but for something that's a matter of preventing severe bodily injury... yeah it shouldn't be in a state where you think it's working, but it's not. I'd guess that they can only get away with this legally because helmets are the only safety equipment that are required by law.
