I know people do wear locks round their waist, but I think promoting it with a product like this is irresponsible. Has the designer thought of the damage that that lock would cause to the spine and surrounding areas if one where to fall off and land on it.
People may wear Abus locks around their waist, but if the lock were to paralyse them due to landing on it after falling they could not sue as the product is not marketed as a "wearable lock".
However selling a product as a wearable lock is asking for trouble as if one where to fall off the bike you would be able to sue if any more damage was caused by the lock, then just the plain old floor.
Just my 2 cents.
