Maybe, but you know they have had lawyers involved. I'm guessing that there is a legal agreement somewhere that stipulates this will happen so that the lawyers have covered their backsides. Since it involves downloading an app, it'll probably be a section in the EULA that everyone read before checking that "I Agree" box. right?

I doubt it. Besides the EULA that has already been mentioned, the standard equipment is a padded jacket with abrasion resistant fabric.

They could probably argue that their product is adding protection above current standards, and a deactivated vest would merely reduce the rider back to the safety level considered standard.

I dislike a subscription based airbag vest, but I really don't think they'll get sued over that.

ctrl-F, "sued", upvote. My thoughts exactly.

this is awful.
