True.
The genius of the M71 design was twofold: firstly the little plastic lever would release your foot in a crash immediately AFTER you hit the deck; secondly, said lever would self-destruct on impact meaning you needed a new pair of........ M71s.
I suspect any M71s available now have never been ridden (see above!).
