How secure is the Cyberster?

Just found this useful looking hand over guide from Luscombe's in Leeds, the thing that is concerning is at timestamp 2:40 where they show you how anyone can open the car without a key. It does not mention if this would set the alarm off if the key is not present.

That arch open switch is in event of a crash and airbags deployed or car flipped. The inside switch may get the door open and released from the latch. I tried it and it released the door but it was stuck on the latch. This was on the prototype. Maybe there has to be power loss not sure. Production car is different though

We tried it yesterday on our Cyberster.
Works fine, however, my wife was a bit struggling to push up the door but she managed at the end.
I recommend to everyone to try at least once. Naturaly one pushes the door "out" but it is to push "up" of course.

There have been various other vehicles with emergency entry procedures like this.

It might seem alarming to owners, but at the end of the day, a causual thief isn't going to know/do this and a professional gang is going to get your car anyway.

The emergency release I was talking about are the one from inside.

The one from outside are only active after the airbags are deployed (according to the manual).
Therefore there is no risk of break ins.

Think they might need to be clearer in the handover video as it does not explain the bit about the airbags.
