Can someone explain how the safety works on this device?

There is a simple switch on the side, slide it once for the flashlight, twice for the shock =)

There really isn't a safety other than the power switch. You just need to be aware of whether the switch is off or on by the red light indicator.

It's generally not safe to ride in the rain. So while I'm happy to respond - my experience is limited. I have been caught in the rain, with the light, and it worked perfectly. It's important to note that I was too aggressive with the rubber USB cover the second or third time I charged the light... and it popped off. My plan was to replace it - but I've been just too busy to get to that "C" list item. In spite of the exposed USB, the light re-charged flawlessly. This is a good value - several friends purchased the same light based on my experience and first hand observations. The charge lasts a long time and the unit is powerful, but not bulky. Good luck and be safe out there. It's generally not safe to ride in the rain. So while I'm happy to respond - my experience is limited.

Interesting Question - that's why I bought the one I have. I was very surprised at the results. I have stood under high tension transmission lines and utility poles with a transformer and they are high enough to pose little problem. Some of the highest reading I encountered was the motor on my high efficiency water heater motor, computer scanner and printer power supplies, a bedroom alarm clock - but you virtually have to be hugging them - if you are a foot or two away, the levels are not dangerous. I believe getting a good unit is worthwhile, just to prove what is safe to yourself. I haven't encountered anything dangerous in my normal surroundings and activities and feel safe. Not to say there is nothing out there - need to avoid MRI, etc. Measure at a source and then a foot or so away. Good Luck - I encourage you to get one - you'll feel better knowing. Ron

I have not experienced any problem. It is a thin wire and everything has worked the 3 times I have used the device.

No. I'm unaware of any safety issues. Almost all such appliances have built in power.

Nope no safety features at all. The wrist strap is just a removable accessory. But I don't see how it might go off accidently because it's a sort of switch you have to hold down.

Sounds dangerous to me . Send it back. Mine doesn't do that, so it must be broken. Don't take any chances with your life.

It is easy but in my experience it is a dangerous quick release system. Mine released on it's own several times once almost causing a bad crash. This thing is a POS. I tossed mine away. Get something safer and sturdier. Your safety is more important than a low price.

FWIW, I believe it would be dependent on a few things. !. Like Johnny said there has to be power. 2. It did not crash land or hit an obstacle. 3. You would need to be within range of you the signal coming into the wi fi extender. There may be other limitations but that's all that comes to mind. :)

I have had it happen to me on accident more than once and it still works completely fine so I'd have to safe that you shouldn't have to worry.

I think you have to turn it off, I do not believe it has a safety auto-off on it.

Funny how the manual has a safety warning about lithium-ion batteres though. ;)

The company sent me a contraption designed to prevent it from overheating. I haven't used it since I received that. (But I used it several times before I got that with no adverse consequences.) I'm not sure if they've changed anything so that their new version is safer.

I have 3 of these lights, and they are all on timers to control the on/off periods ... never had a problem. as to safety, I won't guarantee anything is 100% safe, that is up to the user

I think this is a question for the babysense Hisense safety monitor. I have never used one. You may even want to ask your pediatrician for advice about this.

No way to turn it off that I know of. It is probably a good safety feature.

What I want to know is, after reading these reviews both good and bad, I am wavering about whether I should keep my Striiv. How is the company going to support me if and when the devices freezes, stops working altogether etc. I am a citizen on a fixed income and really bought this device at great sacrifice to myself. I would appreciate an answer ASAp
