Comment on Invisible Bike Helmet Inflates Before Impact

Comments

I like it but I would feel uneasy knowing that it is not just a stupid foam helmet but an airbag and a bunch of gyros. Just reminding that the more complex the system is the more places something can go wrong.

that's why i wear my (normal) bike helmet whenever i get into a car.

I agree. This is perhaps close to being a luddite. The difference lies in the fact that the airbag, for the car, didn't replace any already simpler and proven security measure.
