@ Hiplok team, what precautions have you made to make the chain safe to wear around your body? is the material surrounding the chain padded? If I were to cycle to work on an icy morning, whilst wearing your product, and fall off due to the ice, can you ensure that the chain wrapped around my body would not harm me any more then the floor as I hit it?
I am genuinely concerned about the safety of your customers, I am not a "blog Hero". I have experience of 2 people not able to cycle now due to falling onto a chain worn around the waist whilst cycling. I also do not need to see your product in the flesh to understand the potential dangers that the Hiplok has.
Do you think someone would have a case against you if they were to break their back due to falling onto the first "wearable lock"?
I look forward to your response.
