It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Can't remember ever looking to purchase a bike helmet online, so of course this one is only available in Europe so far.
That said, at least its a real product you can buy, today. Over half the time when an award-winning design sparks my interest, that is not the case.

Red Dot awards go to actual products that are in the market, but new. I’ve got 2 of them in that 2 of the products I worked on were awarded
Yeah, IDK how well this thing actually works, but it's a novel concept and probably better than nothing.
I think you'd be better off getting a MIPS helmet. This is definitely a cool design project turned into novelty product.
It probably works better than dashing your brains out across three metres of pavement, which is the apparent game plan of most of the people I see on scooters and bikes around town
Hi, I'm people. This product addresses 99% of my problem with helmets. I could finally maybe be trusted with an e-bike to get to work regularly, versus just blocking traffic(read: using the side-walk wherever possible because no-one walks in this town anywnys) with my mountain-bike when my car isn't working.
Weird to get the concept of speed-increases-danger, I know.
Can't believe you got downvoted for being absolutely right. I don't remember the last time I saw a bike helmet in use, save by a person whose entire wardrobe wasn't screaming "I bike in racing gear as a personality traight". So ... one-in-ten bikers around here.
I 100% do not care about the downvotes. Those people don't even value their own brains, why should I?
Anyway, hope you get a helmet. 🙂
You're not getting downvoted by the anti-helmet crowd, promise. You're getting downvoted for the same reason I'll ever tell my kids to shut-up; Being right doesn't mean you have to be loud and obnoxious.
Was aiming for funny, so I'll take that note. I think I'd be a lot less of a scold if all the people without helmets didn't smirk when they saw me ride. I'll own up to that.
Eh, I thought it was funny.
Oh, it WAS funny. I wasn't one of the downvotes. You didn't have to be loud and obnoxious, but I appreciate you for taking those downvotes, and painting a concise picture.
I'm just here to make pedestrian comments
