It's going to accidentally deploy and hurt someone's 1 year old and he'll be sued into oblivion.

aktually, a disclaimer much like that of air bags would put a quick end to any lawsuits. Also from the looks of it, it is a fairly safe design. The "hooks" are a very blunt segmented plastic that is a pretty harmless u shaped, so the tips arn't digging into anything. And the metal bands have so little force behind them that they are easily bendable back into a locked and loaded position.

I think I would actually dig this type of case, sign me up to test!
