Nothing’s Impossible: The Invisible Bicycle Helmet

Washington: Two Swedish women have invented a bicycle helmet that remains invisible unless you need the headgear which is designed to inflate in a fraction of a second.

The Hovding has been invented by Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin to solve the issues we all have with helmets like giving bad hair. The Hovding looks like a collar at first, worn around the neck. Inside it is an air bag, similar to the ones in your car.

The helmet also has a “black box”, similar to ones on airplanes, to record the movements of the cyclist, and recognise the acceleration and angular velocity during an accident. “It became mandatory for children to wear a helmet in Sweden and many people didn’t use them,” ABC News quoted Haupt as saying.

That was certainly a gimmicky way of just saying we invented a helmet air bag. That presentation could have only been 15 seconds long and still said more than they did. The amount of deception people engage in just to get attention is ridiculous.

Cool though, congrats to those ladies.
