MIPS is designed to protect the brain stem and this would not be a trivial injury. Only downside is fewer organ donations by fit cyclists.
Actually, it's somewhat interesting. If you visit Wiggle/CRC website, and redo the preferences to pretend you're a UK resident and shopping for UK shipping, you get a pretty different picture of what is selling well. Not sure if this link will work for most, or if you'll automatically get redirected to a US webpage:
