Well worth taking 2.5 minutes to watch this video, for both entertainment and education....
At least watch it until about the 1min 10sec mark.
Classic demo of a "helmet shaped object" Fortunately here in Europe (Germany is particularly picky) we have 'type approval' regulations where items like this are tested before the can be sold. I hope the US has something similar, because, frankly, with the RZO you would be safer in an ostrich egg.
