Problem is as soon as they had something that would work if they didn't introduce it and someone was hurt or killed in a situation that the halo would have prevented the legal ramifications (not to mention the medua outcry) would have been huge.
The only thing wrong with the halo, imo. is the way it looks which should be a very minor consideration for a safety device.
