New Helmet Technology

You may need to have an online NY times subscription to read the whole thing.

Basically this helmet works the same as a 4 way nasal spray bottle or one of those squeezy thermoses. Supposedly it's been proven to absorb shock better than foam.

I don't know for sure, but I think someone on a different forum contacted the company, and they were not interested in pursuing the motorcycle end of things... seems a shame... would be nice to see some advances in lid technology.

So he is going to make helmets out of saline solution? Cool! :-)

That way in the event that a IV of saline solution is needed that will be available too. :)

He may not be interested but if it proves its able to better motorcycle helmets i'm sure the technology will make its way over. I like to doodle a lot, drawing new helmet designs is one of my favorite things to waste my time with :)

Pretty snazzy, though it opens you up to so many pranks.

"Who put the fart spray in my helmet?"
"Not us coach!"
