    It may be an explosive, but cant blow off your head because then it would just be a stupid product.

    If it can increase your chances. Why shouldnt it be

    Nah, not a compulsory. But seems it will work.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    The first section of the clip, where the dummy was upside down and smacking into the object on the floor am I wrong in thinking without the air bag thingy the visor survived and with it disintegrated into the face of the dummy.

    Also looking at the operation one could achieve the desired affect with a simple neck brace.

    Perhaps, but at the expense of head mobility when you need it (like ALL the time, apart from when you crash).
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
