Perhaps, a helmet camera like this:

Or, maybe a bicycle helmet with both front and rear facing cameras:

Or, maybe all 360 degrees:

A video/ video storage system or a radar alert may be
interesting but it won't stop a drunk high or texting idiot.


No, but with the video, at least your family has something to show at the wake -- assuming the SD card is picked up by police or EMS.

The amazing part is that with all those sharp teeth, the efficiency gain is only 1% over DA. The market is starting to look like the late 1800s with steam powered nose-hair trimmers and other exotic Rube Goldberg contraptions. And then all the safety devices. What does it mean?



Not that I want one, but that's pretty cool in terms of
creative thinking. Who knows, it could be a path forward
given some development. I didn't laugh at it anyway.
