A British inventor apparently has come up with a foam that may change the face of motorcycle body armour and helmet designs.
A revolutionary new foam has been developed which its makers claim can protect people from pain and injury when they hit something at speed - or when something hits them.

Bikers, cyclists, snowboarders and skiers could benefit from wearing suits and helmets containing D3O, and riot police in the US are putting it through its paces.

Wow... That's intense stuff. I'd seen it before in so-called soft helmets for snowboarding but never seen it demonstrated like that! I'd love to see what it could do in a spill.
