Do folks who would spend such money worry about endos? Bit cynical about
the market for such stuff.

Non cyclists worry about endos or at least claim they do, but cyclists
generally not in my experience, be they club cyclists or rolling though the
park to work commuters, and so on.

Yeah, I wonder if the goal here is to invent a selling point for selling
to the non-cyclist market.

The should just sell warped discs as anti-lock brakes. Smuggle out defects as a feature.

That's from SRAM. Here's Shimano's version:

At first glance, both schemes look like half of a mechanical version
of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) without the rotational speed
sensors, electronics, hydraulic modulator, and high price tag. I'm
still trying to figure out how the SRAM version works.

I wonder what would happen if the rider tries an intentional endo:

Before I'd ride something that complicated, I'd switch to a no-brake fixie.

Roger, not only have I done complete endos with disk brakes, but I almost did an endo just a couple of months ago when I was riding a bike with aluminum wheels on it after months and months or riding **** poor braking carbon rims. Luckily, I realized it just before the rim brake completely locked. On really bumpy road when descending at speed you have to stand up which makes doing an endo rather easy if you're not used to the the brakes you're riding. I even did an endo on a gravel trail with my first set of disk brakes. I've done this often enough that I'm getting really good at landing with minimal injury.

Up there where it rains most of the year, I imagine that you're extremely sensitive to powerful brakes. I don't imagine you endo as much as slide out.

Frank, add a front caliper. Really.
