This is my thinking too. If you are going backwards then those teeth are moving past pretty fast and the spacing becomes completely irrelevant, if you inadvertently crank forwards enough to raise a pawl, then it IS going to try to engage.
However, it may be that the wider spacing will help when pedaling forwards in a normal style because the pawls will have a little more time to fully raise before hitting a tooth so they are likely to be fully engaged rather than on the very corner of the tip... then again it is still a "crash" engagement that I can see being very hard on all the parts and those flipable ratchet rings dont have the best reputation for strength to start with.
I normally try to resist dissecting other companies products but this is too interesting to pass up so I have tried to be balanced, but I am obviously biased so completely ignore everything I have written or at least treat it with a huge amount of scepticism and assume I am lying.

Finally saw the video. You guys are fucking crazy. That had some really good backwards clips. If you want to talk shit on the guy, tell him to get a hair cut or something. Or to not ride green tires. But I was pleasantly surprised with a bunch of clips in this video.
Hater's gon hate.
Also, props to Eclat for actually putting out a product related video when their product will actually be available. All of the #comingsoon bull shit is for the birds.
