Inflatable & discreet helmet : Hail mate or hell mate. What's your say?


                Are you one of may of those who are reluctant to wear a helmet while riding despite aware of the risks involved? There's this chic option now available which will allow the speed to thrill and perhaps would minimise the kill. Especially, if you belong to Venus and have a lot of hair to care, this novel helmet may be too hard to resist once it is made available.
              All the models in the photos you are seeing are each wearing this helmet. You may observe a ridge around their necks. The same 'in style' looking collar is the helmet we are talking about. But, how exactly does this work?
             Here's how it is : This cycling collar being termed as 'Hovding' is worn around the collar and works pretty much like an airbag in an automotive. The sensors in this device get activated once a crash is determined and inflate the collar around the head to form a helmet pretty much as how we see in the photograph above.
               This unusual device is said to be designed by recreating hundreds of accidents using crash test dummies and real riders. Powered by a re-chargeable battery this airbag  stays inflated for several seconds after the crash.

  



So what's your say? I feel it's worth giving a try.

  2. Different people different views. I don't see anything in this which could be used to fool a rational being.
