Crash testing, at least in the US, is a ritual without meaning. Chairs are sled-tested in their default configuration. Almost all the aftermarket "specialty" backs are held on with less than a dozen screws--many have high-strength plastic brackets.

So the chairs as they're used aren't what's been tested. Even more so, in a transit vehicle they're secured not for our safety but to prevent the equipment from becoming missiles in a crash.

While the make was definitely higher quality than the average Chinese-made basic chair (they sell under the Drive brand here), it didn't have the tank feeling of my last two Quantums. (But between them they burned half-a-dozen motors, so it's not all good.)

As far as the styling goes, the website is all about "non medical" and "avoiding stigma," which is real, but bullshit, too.
