the fact is people in today don't take responsibility for their own actions. I mean come look the amount of times the council get sued for someone tripping on a bit protruding rock, the council don't say "you have to take responsibility for your actions" nah they get fucking sued. Same with with (only example I can think of atm) that woman who burn't her lips on coffee and sued the fuck out of mcdonalds. Anyone offering a service or product has to be so carful with regards to safety in todays world, or else they're leaving themselves wide open to be fucked over. Weather its Right or wrong, or weather the lock is a great idea or not isn't the point, the point is that it could severely worsen any damage caused by falling off your bike, presenting a major design flaw with the belt. They probably could be sued if someone was to break their spine and be wheelchaired as a direct result of damage caused by wearing the lock around their waste.
