The Invisible Helmet

Swedish industrial designers Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin are starting off their dream of saving the world by first saving cyclists' lives: they created they created the fashionable and practical Hövding Invisible Bike Helmet.

The Hövding helmet is worn like a scarf around the neck, with a folded up inflatable helmet inside. In case of a crash, built-in motion-detectors will identify movements specific to a crash scenario and a gas inflator spirits the airbag over the wearer's head like a hood, in 0.1 seconds.

This helmet meets the EU's and CE standards, providing as much protection as regular helmets.
