Invisible Bicycle Helmet

Kind of cool.

Needs to be more "aero" otherwise it totally takes away the benefit of shaving my legs.

 

 

It is pretty cool though.

A 3.5 minute video to show us 40 seconds of the helmet? Stupid broads.

Yeah, kind of neat. Until they tell you how much.

So basically an airbag for your head. Wonder how often the thing would deploy without an impact, or how often it wouldn't deploy at all.

Was thinking the same exact thing, and if you'd have to take it to someone to pack the airbag back in everytime.  There's also the question of why, because some people find regular helmets a little uncomfortable?

 

And they really need to get off the word 'invisible'.  Was expecting to see a helmet that bends light but was shown an inflatable helmet instead.

That is deceptive. I was expecting the same thing, maybe some kind of light refracting technology or something similar.

 

I also wonder if this thing is single use, like a car airbag. I assume so, because there must be some kind of compressed gas that inflates the thing.

I wouldn't trust one of those. Kind of like how I don't trust my car's cruise control feature.

It would be a real leap of faith to wear nothing but this, and trust that it would deploy if you fell off or were knocked off your bike.

If I thought there was any chance of bouncing my head off the pavement more than once in my bike riding lifetime, I would quit riding.

Regular adult helmets are supposed to be single use. The foam compresses and loses its strength.

I think most people that would wear these do t wear regular helmets, so this would be better than nothing.

You're still supposed to steer!

He thinks that cruise control and autopilot are the same thing.

They're not? I thought you just plug in the coordinates and it takes you where you want to go.
