The Hondvig, the first ever invisible bicycle helmet. This air-bag like contraption can save your life, and you don’t have to wear a helmet.
Sure, this is just for bicycles now . . . but can it’s use for motorcycles be far behind?

Design students Anna and Terese took on a giant challenge as an exam project. Something no one had done before. If they could swing it, it would for sure be revolutionary.
This invisible bicycle helmet is great, but not sustainable in terms of it being used only once, and it has a current price tag of £400.
Good idea for people “too cool” for helmets. I see a potential flaw in the design or at least in these tests. A real human would put his arms out when falling forward, even when unexpected the reflex is instinctual. So the one where the dummy face-plants would be a vastly different fall if his arms braced forward and a dental injury, despite the airbag should be considered.
But, we should know that helmets do not guarantee there will be no injury or death. Helmets are used to reduce the most common injuries and help lower the chances of death. Of course you can still get injured. But if this reduces risk of injury as much as a regular bike helmet does, then the argument is that people are more likely to wear this helmet. Any helmet is better than the one adults buy and then will not wear.
