I never liked the conventional bicycle helmut. This one even I could wear. And the reason I don't wear a helmut is because I think I pay more attention, NOT wearing one.

You attach a rip cord to the saddle and if you fall off it triggers the air canister to inflate your vest protecting your neck and spine when you land.

Of course there's the inevitable episode when you finish a brilliant ride and in your joy you forget your connectef and leap off with the resulting inflation of the vest!



These are genius ideas though. Big K & R!!
