PROTEUS folding motorcycle helmet

I am not sold.

 

As long as the process by which it locks into shape complies with AS,
I'd be fine with it.

The link provided explained that it meets AS.

These show how it works.

I am still not sold.

Are we talking again?
I am finding it hard to keep up!

 

Hard to keep up with any of Gerry's waffle
He looks in the mirror to see who is going to be his friend every day.

 

Well that may be becasue no one want to buy you. Not surprised.

In Usenet I comment wherever and however I wish.

Run faster.

Ditto.

It's not a helmet for high speed hooning by any means but then no open
face style helmet is.

I suspect it's no less safe than the average open face helmet.

And remember the same concerns were voiced when the flip open full face
helmets were brought in and I know a few people who wear those now.

As Gerry mentions... it's the locking system that's the issue (and there
were problems with at least one of the full face flip helmets in that
area). As long as the locking system is strong enough it'll be fine.

I got onto the above as it was entered in a competition. This was the
winner...

I think it is a great idea for both large and small applications.

I love the high/low tech approach to atmospheric water harvesting.

 

Won't open for me.

Looks like a neat invention and I'm sure there is a market for it - just
the same as O/F flip-up helmets.

Given that it was inspired by 5 months riding a motorcycle in Indonesia.
Google images 'Indonesian road' - for every picture 've seen a similar
road in Australia - in fact picture #1 (Subah) reminds me of the road I
took to BT's farmette ;-)

The market could be students & office workers that can't easily store
their kit without it getting knocked about, riding low power motorcycles
and scooters, and possibly helmet rentals.
