I see a bigger problem here. Even a flaw in the design of the system.
Due to the time it takes to open it this system has been tested for an impact of the head on the ground but what about hitting a tree, a lorry or a pole which leads to impacts way sooner than impacts on the ground. If your bicycle hit a tree, a lorry or a pole your head will be in contact with it way before that the system is deployed. It's a deadly flaw. yeah, if you live in the middle of the forest. news flash ... a 600USD isn't in your market :lol: |
Two problems I see with this helmet
1. It looks like it deploys pretty easly I have crashed numerous times without my head touching the road or anything else that would be $600.00 not used for minor falls each time :notamused: 2. after the initial impact how much would it protect you from road rash as your sliding along the asphalt ? neat Idea but only protects a head in very specific circumstances |
The only market for this is fashion-before-safety, OMG is my hair OK people. Having been T-boned by a car I can assure you that the 1.5 seconds it takes for this to inflate would be cutting it really close before your head hits the windshield of the car. Any $45 hat will provide 24/7 protection without the use of tech that can fail. Plus the hat is much cooler than a big neck wrap.
But if you have hundreds to spend on a look at me toy, to each their own. Since it doesn't actually attach to your head I wonder if it would meet US bike laws where head protection is mandatory. |
