Just in case anyone's wondering. The top image is a joke article that was made a while back, not a real product.

What are these tubes? It's boring. My suicide helmet consists of a VR headset and a Magnum taped to it. It would triger a second after I make one gramatical mistake

I don't like the guy either. But it is clearly an art project, never to actually be used.

I figured if anyone was killed by this device it would cause a running mess of cascade lawsuits, even if it served as intended and killed the one who signed the TOS.

Then consider if the goggles glitched and activated on a false positive or if someone's kid tried the goggles on for a game.

This is why piracy deterrent payloads only extend to humiliation or stern warnings (rather than destruction of data or hardware). We can't restrict activations to perfectly just situations.

Something to think about as US law enforcement continues to kill Americans at four-plus a day.
