Would You Pay $600 For An Invisible Bicycle Helmet?
Saw a story on the news tonight about an invisible bicycle helmet that is contained inside of a collar and goes off like an airbag if you get into a crash. Would anyone buy this? Are people so vain that they would rather pay $600 than be seen wearing a traditional bicycle helmet? Shaking my head on this one!
Quoting LindaDarling:That's great that he had a good helmet when he needed it. I don't think I would trust this one in the picture either. A lady told me a story a couple of years ago.....she liked to put her hair up in curlers, but they always took a long time to dry. She put her curlers in and then went for a bike ride with her son. She had a crash and the curlers actually acted like a helmet for her. They were those hollow plastic curlers that look like a tube. She was so thankful her curlers had saved her noggin. They were a little busted up though! I don't think I could ever have peace of mind with an airbag around my neck though.........
Quoting StoneColdKiller:
Wow I wouldn't trust it.
My husbands helmet cost close to $300. Money isn't a issue safety is and his helmet saved his life in his last accident.
in 3-5 years, I garauntee they're in court trying to settle.

Aww man, I thought you meant ACTUALLY invisible, and I was like "hell yeah I would!"
But an airbag around your neck? That's decapitation waiting to happen.
I think it goes off if it tilts past a certain angle. Supposedly it deploys within 1/10th of a second. I just wonder if it would also go off when it's not supposed to. Imagine you just bend over to look at your pedals and "poof", you have a helium helmet. LOL

I don't know how that would work air bags deploy from impact so how the heck would this work? Your head is going to hit the ground before your neck
Ha Ha That's awesome! Saved by the bun!

My daughters gigantic bun protected her head when she was skating at the end of a pinwheel and fell backwards her head bounced right off the floor and hopped up and got back in her spot

Any takers????
My husband went into a ditch and went head over very head first, scary they said the only thing that saved his spin was the helmet.
