Title: Hovding Bicycling Helmet Post by: dystopia on September 04, 2011, 08:11:16 AM Hövding
http://www.hovding.com/en/how/ Quote Hövding is a collar for bicyclists, worn around the neck. The collar contains a folded up airbag that you'll only see if you happen to have an accident. The airbag is shaped like a hood, surrounding and protecting the bicyclist's head. The trigger mechanism is controlled by sensors which pick up the abnormal movements of a bicyclist in an accident.

To people like us, who wouldn't be seen dead in a polystyrene helmet, the thought that we might be forced to wear one by law was cause for concern.

I'd love an airplane pillow like that. |
