This gorgeous Girl Is Wearing An Invisible Airbag Helmet [Video]

See this beautiful girl? She’s wearing an invisible airbag helmet on the way to keep her safe on bike rides. Don’t believe me? Watch this video.

The helmet design is dubbed Hövding and while consistently described as ” invisible” is only really cleverly hidden:

Hövding is a discreet collar that the cyclist is wearing around his neck. The collar includes a folded airbag that’s visible only at a collision. The airbag is designed as a hood that in case of an accident will enclose and protect the cyclist’s head. Release mechanism is controlled by sensors that register abnormal movements of the rider in an accident.

A device like here’s certainly appealing and would keep helmet-hair away, but I do ponder whether it may cause injuries inside the same manner as an airbag in a car. [ DavidReport via Treehugger ]
