When design students Anna and
Terese decided to come up with a revolutionary product for one of their
classes, they made the impossible, possible.
Riding bicycles is large part of
their culture, and bicycle safety is an important matter. They wanted to find a
way to stay safe when riding their bike without the uncomfortable and bulky
traditional helmet.
That is why they invented a product
no one had ever come up with before. This product would keep bicycle riders
safe, comfortable and even somewhat stylish. The 'The Invisible Helmet' as it has
become known as, uses technology to react when those wearing it get hit. It
inflates much like an airbag you would find in a car, and surrounds the head of
the bicyclist, protecting them from injury.
I think this is a revolutionary
product that people will actually want to wear. Making helmets more
comfortable, fashionable and smart will ensure the safety of more people. There
are potential problems, such as a non-reactant helmet, but I believe they will
become millionaires one day.
This is such an interesting article Janina! How inventive. I love the idea and I believe it will only continue to gain traffic and grow. It is a great concept and revolutionary for the preventative safety world, but more importantly, the technology world. This is the result you get if you put two great minds together, anything is possible.
