      I think you’d be better off getting a MIPS helmet. This is definitely a cool design project turned into novelty product.

      It probably works better than dashing your brains out across three metres of pavement, which is the apparent game plan of most of the people I see on scooters and bikes around town

        Hi, I’m people. This product addresses 99% of my problem with helmets. I could finally maybe be trusted with an e-bike to get to work regularly, versus just blocking traffic(read: using the side-walk wherever possible because no-one walks in this town anywnys) with my mountain-bike when my car isn’t working.

        Weird to get the concept of speed-increases-danger, I know.

        Can’t believe you got downvoted for being absolutely right. I don’t remember the last time I saw a bike helmet in use, save by a person whose entire wardrobe wasn’t screaming “I bike in racing gear as a personality traight”. So … one-in-ten bikers around here.

          I 100% do not care about the downvotes. Those people don’t even value their own brains, why should I?

          Anyway, hope you get a helmet. 🙂

            You’re not getting downvoted by the anti-helmet crowd, promise. You’re getting downvoted for the same reason I’ll ever tell my kids to shut-up; Being right doesn’t mean you have to be loud and obnoxious.

              Was aiming for funny, so I’ll take that note. I think I’d be a lot less of a scold if all the people without helmets didn’t smirk when they saw me ride. I’ll own up to that.
