It's no surprise to most people that I have fallen on my head. Having
done it with a regular Bell helmet, I lived without any fracture but a
serious concussion and was told I was lucky not to have broken my neck.
I've looked at the Hovding closely, I think it would definitely provide
better
It costs $500.00 and works one time only. Eeeek.

So did Personal Locator Beacons (PLB) when they first came out. Now a high

The price will come down. The invisible helmet..It seems to be a purely
about helmet hair issues. I would rather wear a helmet than a cervical
collar. I envision not turning my head to check on traffic as often with it

Helmet hair isn't the only thing it solves. One of the reasons I do not
wear a helmet is because the weight on my head and the motion it has
combine to really mess with my vertigo. I suspect it is part of why people
don't like wearing them, except they don't know it because the price for

I wear two helmets most of the time; removing one makes me feel a little
wild, and with it any perceived discomfort.

Tom, no idea either about Snell evaluating the device. My only opinion is
that it looks uncomfortable wrapped around one's neck...here in arid Los
Angeles I can assure you I won't be wearing one, perhaps if I lived in

I'm not sold on the tradeoff, comfort-wise. The entering premise is that
bike helmets are uncomfortable, but this collar doesn't seem any better.
Seems like it would make you sweat, chafe, and would flop around during
vigorous riding.

4 years of football and 20 years of bike riding has made me so used to
wearing a helmet I really don't notice it at all. I applaud anyone who
wants to make people safer, however. Bike snob did skewer this particular
idea already if anyone wants a laugh.
I'm very curious about how the accelerometers detect a tumble. Could
vigorous riding trigger a false deployment?
Can't remember why the topic came up, but I was explaining this device to a
couple of co-workers only last week.
One of them (who doesn't ride) wondered how/if it would
