Stylish Airbag Helmet for Bicycle Riders
Two students from Lundig University, Sweden designing airbags that can bubble when the accident occurred. Airbag is made specifically for cyclists, it is stored in the thick collar that can be worn anytime.
How it works, the airbag in the collar will automatically ballooned in a matter of seconds when it detects strange movements of the wearer through the sensor. So, when the user touches the floor, his head was protected by an airbag made of nylon resistant asphalt.
Interestingly, the airbag is ‘hidden’ in the collar that looks almost like neck warmers. The collar is available with various designs, such as silk paisley fabric, faux fur and bridal white.
Helmet maker, named ‘The Hovding’, saying that they make the safety equipment from a different angle. Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin, claims to have created a helmet that is not visible, can be used as fashion accessories but still provide protection like a regular bike helmet.
The idea of making ‘The Hovding’ comes from the Swiss government’s new regulations on the obligation to wear helmets for children under the age of 15 years and the extension of the law for adults. Haupt and Alstin took the initiative to make a helmet that interesting, do not make people forced to wear, and stylish.
To complement its sophistication, ‘The Hovding’ also has a black box that can record voice and data at the time of the accident will occur. So other people can find out what happened to the cyclists who had an accident. Interested in having them?
