And so here I stand... corrected.

Insofar as they make efforts to advise the Paramedics of these designs, some still don't know about Shoei's emergency removable cheek pads

<edit>

The removal is a bit faffy, fine if the rider is breathing - potentially deadly if not, if you have need to remove a lid, it's because there is a breathing problem, or risk of vomiting. Speaking personally, I live in an area with sporadic mobile coverage, so scanning a QR code is not an option, I guess a diagram on the lid would work though. Removing screws ??? A rider could easily have choked, swallowed their tongue or be drowning in vomit before you get the screws out.

Slightly less concerning, for the UK market, it is illegal to ride without your chin strap fastened. So this needs to be clarified in law, but that would form part of type approval so they wouldn't be able to sell it until that was resolved.

I still don't like the name though.
