Interesting idea.

You know what, if its not stupidly priced i'd buy one. Been looking for something like this for years. Annoys the shit out of me having to pull the straps to morph my helmets just to get my head in only to have my ears fold up inside.
The hinged back was a concern at first but the safety aspect of it being able to split in the event of an off is a massive selling point, the QR code for paramedics is pointless though imho, if i were attending a biker down scene i wouldn't be getting my phone out, finding a QR reader 'app' and then going through the download process or whatever, coverage in the UK around the roads we ride is always sketchy too.

Paramedics don't bother with ice stuff. There just there to stabilise and get you to hospital then either the police god forbid or the hospital staff check the qr code.
I suppose if they did see a ice sticker on your lid I'm sure your wallet would be checked or a quick look to see any ice pendant

In Case of Emergency

I used to have to wear a wristband on both wrists so if I needed anything following a accident of some sort the paramedics knew to check my wallet for my card

The sticker is instructions on how remove the lid.
Not ice details.
But I think it's a bit shit to expect the paramedics to scan it then go routing round for a screwdriver. Should be a simpler release idea.
