Two women in Sweden invent an invisible bicycle helmet

[MrBrad]

Could this one day evolve into a helmet for motorcyclists? As this product is, it certainly has to be better than nothing, or even the cheapest helmets available everywhere here in Thailand.

Amazing.

Can you imagine the confusion that would cause at police checks ??

The BiB wouldn't know what to do

It's an airbag for heads.

Good idea... Hope they do make millions

A misfire could cause an accident though.

What a dummy... Never stab the front brake on a bike.

i wish they created an entire body suit, since most cyclists break their collarbone, massive road rash, etc...

i will then create the invisible baht, invisible visa, and the all-important invisible suitcase.

You'll hurt more when they create the invisible bargirl.

Given that it's a roll of plastic sheeting, a cylinder of compressed gas, plus accelerometer and associated electronics, it looks like it would be awfully hot and uncomfortable when worn around the neck in warm weather.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if it gets turned around a bit on your neck before it goes off.

Yeah, Motorbikes!

It's a cool idea, but hardly invisible.
