Buy one as soon as they come out so you can get in on the class-action suit from the brain tumors, blindness, severe neck strain, and some sort of heavy metal poisoning that will surely come about in the next 5-10 years.
Much better than saving money for retirement. Assuming you make it there after wearing that thing for a year non-stop.

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

It weighs 2.7 Kgs or 6 lbs.
The average human head weighs between 8 to 12 lbs.
An average motorcycle helmet weighs 2.7 lbs.
It's a nice concept but I think it needs to be refined into something less cumbersome before it will be accepted.
edit: the closest thing i could find for a helmet of similar weight is a Kevlar helmet with a face shield used by riot police which is around 4.8 lbs
