I have no idea how it’s designed, but it should put a credential on your phone which it can check via Bluetooth. That credential would presumably have an expiration date and the app should only need to validate it once when the status changes.
It shouldn’t be checking anything during a ride. If it needs to be turned on at the start of the ride, it should do all the checks and give a green light or a red light (or some other clear indicator) before they start riding.
That way, the only way it doesn’t go off if someone wears it while ignoring the “system is not active for safety” warning.
Shouldn’t be a subscription in the first place, but hey, this is just a weird hypothetical.
I’m going to guess that it checks once a month to see if the subscription is valid, so even if there is a connection issue, it will still work.
With that said, trusting a company like this to be concerned about your safety and responsible is stupid, because you know there are sociopaths at the head of that company that are even more sociopathic than other companies.
So what happens if you start your airbag in an area without cell reception (so it can’t verify your subscription)?
I’d guess the airbag doesn’t go off.

What would happen if you drop your phone on the road and don’t notice until you are beyond BT range?
If we’re talking “should,” it should default to airbag active when it can’t verify that the subscription hasn’t been paid

I have to assume this is a joke because that is quite literally exactly what it does
