The only company that made them has gone bankrupt, so there's that.
They were successful in Copenhagen, where helmet-wearing is not quite as exotic as in the Netherlands, but apparently one city is not enough.
- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoI half-considered getting one of those (I'm in the UK), but the initial cost was expensive and they were single-use as in they needed to go back to the manufacturer to be reset after being triggered which was an additional cost. https://www.hovding.com/ https://www.hovding.com/
- usrusr 3y agoI'd be dead scared of false positives riding in one. That might be harmless at a speed slightly above pedestrian, but my speed range does not end there.
- euroderf 3y agoCould I, as a consumer of said helmet, have performed a non-destructive test ?
- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoI don't believe so - once they were triggered they'd need to be factory reset.
