Found this today. Kind of like an airbag instead of a helmet. I think I'll stick to my helmet though..

It looks like it might inflate if you hit a hard bump.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Well, I am content to see how they do for the next few years. I don't want to be a crash test dummy, that's for sure..

I might wear one in addition to my helmet. If they sent it to me free.

I guess now they are selling it. A story about this product surfaced in the media nearly two years ago. It was mentioned in this forum in 2010, with a link to the Huffington Post:

I wonder if the thing can get snagged if you fall in such a way that you slide on the ground. Also, I think that in the summer I would rather wear something on my head than a "scarf" around my neck. Is it breathable?
