An airbag helmet for cyclists

Do you cycle? With a little help from the EU, Malmö-based company Hövding has developed an innovative cycling helmet. It is designed as a discreet collar worn around the neck. The collar contains a folded airbag that is deployed in the event of an accident and encases the cyclist's head. The airbag deploys within 0.1 seconds of a collision and absorbs 3 times more of the impact than a regular helmet. It has protected cyclists in more than 1,300 documented cases.
