We first heard about the Hӧvding inflatable bike helmet back in May (also called the “invisible helmet” because you don’t see it until you need it), and now the Swedish designed brain bucket is ready to ride – or ready for riders we should say.
The fashion forward helmet, which can detect a crash, and inflate allows riders to have the wind in their hair when they ride – and yet protect the same head and hair from being covered in blood and gray matter should a crash occur. It won’t come cheap, and will reportedly cost around $600. But can you put a price on stylish safety? Video shows the helmet in action after the jump
Swedish design house Hövding has come up with an airbag-style bike helmet that puts an inflatable protective hood around the wearer’s head at the time of impact. The helmet is worn in a collar and only inflates when an impact occurs.
