I don't think I have an irrational fear of dying that makes me wish to add incident detection to my everyday riding. It is just that it has become something that the technology has gotten to the point where it somewhat works and is inexpensive enough to get. It's not something I'm going to obsess about to the point I wouldn't ride if for some reason it wasn't working that day or days.

As for my one incapacitating crash in over fifty-five years of riding a bike, I just wonder what my outcome would have been if I'd crashed at the other end of the trail that is less frequented by riders, and particularly that day when only a few were out at all. Being dead wouldn't be a problem for me, but being brain damaged or other resulting chronic issues from not getting quick medical attention would be a problem.

Like I previously mentioned, the technology and price of these things is getting close to the point that everyone might ought to talk about and consider if one is appropriate for them. Now if we were talking about requiring their use or such, then that would be something I think is going too far.
