This might seem stupid for 95% of customers but the other 5% that actually go to dangerous areas of the world (*cough* Australia *cough*) paying 300 bucks for something like this that would save your life, not a bad deal.(Just a guess on pricing obviously)

Not a terrible concept, but I won't be buying this iteration of it. Time to sit back and wait a few years for this stuff to become cheap and mainstream.
