The Invisible Helmet

This project has been in woodwork for a while, seven years actually. Two design students from Sweden, Anna and Terese, have developed a bike helmet that is not much of a helmet at all. It provides the security and protection that a regular helmet provides plus some, but without the look feel. It is more like a side-curtain airbag that deploys in a crash scenario. In fact, they call it Hovding, Airbag of Cyclists; click the link to view their site which shows how it works. Plus check out the crazy crash test video below! (Or should I say krocktest?)
