Check out the on guard locks and chains, they cost less and get good reviews.

Don't ride a suspension mountain bike in town, the fixie idea is sound but put a front brake on, they don't cost much and it at least gives you the option not to fixed gear skid into the side of a truck.

that way you can fly head over heels into the truck instead

Depends what the drop out looks like. If it is long like this:

Then you can do it.
