I'm sure you'll see more applications very soon. It looks like they are in the works already from their website. You can even "supposedly" save 10% !!!
If you get in a wreck...wouldn't this be bad for the frame? Seems like it would be more likely to bend the entire frame, but seriously, I don't know all that much about that.

Do you know anything about modern chassis? They are ment to fold up to absorb the shock of a front impact. Any time you get into a decent size front end collision, your going to get the frame rails to fold like a cheap suit. If you look at the frame rails, you can actually see little knotches in the frame that if you do get into a big crash, it will fold at that point. If anything, these could possibly cause the chassis to not fold, however, since I have no experience with them, I can't. they probally don't even effect it, however, again, no experince.
If they stiffen the chassis to the point of reducing deformation, that's just more energy that gets transferred straight to you, and leads to even higher hospital bills. You choose which one you want.
