« on: December 31, 2009, 11:26:48 PM »

Not to say someone will not sue him but he does have a disclaimer (Important Safety Notice)...

Any rider using this mask assumes all liability for any injuries that occur as a result of this mask being subjected to any circumstances outside it’s intended use.

In short, if you don’t want to risk this getting stuck in your head or any place else just as uncomfortable ride safe and be aware of your surroundings pal. Your most important safety device is what’s between your ears. Keep it there…

A further FYI.

Considering that about 96% to 98% of all motorcycle accidents involve injuries and 20% of those injuries are to the head and neck the possibility does exist that the mask can contribute to further injuries. But to put things into perspective you must first be in an accident that results in injuries. Then there is a 1 in 5 chance that the injuries could involve the mask. However you must strike an object that can catch the mask at which point it may cause injury or simply be remove from your face. And if you are striking an object something unpleasant is going to happen to you anyway with or without the mask.

Damn, that boy needs to date a product liability lawyer.  Becuase he obviously hasn't been very close to one for any other reason.

Yeah but who reads those - or pays attention.

Now don't go and tell me you have EVERY disclaimer that comes with our gear or the equipment we use on our jobs  :nixweiss:

Heck, even if we misuse our gloves it can seriously hurt or kill us!

The straps on that thing would drive me nuts! They show them on top of the ear in the pics and I think the big leather piece in the back would bother your head. Looks radical but not practical to me. 85 bucks! what the  :nixweiss: I am going to have to give this the thumbs down!  :smilie_daumenneg:

Doesn't matter if the end user reads them (as you stated most don't), however a good legally written disclaimer can protect the selling company/person.

Agreed, pretty stupid device. Probably costs as much as a fullface helmet.

Why not just buy a decent full face helmet?  You get better protection, less wind noise and nobody laughing at you at stop lights!    :o

This device, unlike most full face helmets, is made in the USA, and I generally try to buy American Products, i.e. Harley-Davidson!!!

It's a hunk of diamond plate and some elastic bands.  Not every faceguard has the materials for it at Home Depot.
