Fashion Statement or WHAT?????

Hövding, A Hidden Airbag Helmet for Bicyclists

How about something that just envelops my entire body if there’s a collision? Countermeasures could wait for 2.0 
When I first saw this picture, all I could think about was a business executive riding around a big city on the way to work looking like this. What a lark!!! Can't you just see it, sophistication at it's best. Just add the luxury handbags, jewelry and accessories and be set to go.
Well, the joke is on me. Hövding is a collar for bicyclists, worn around the neck. The collar contains a folded up airbag that you'll only see if you happen to have an accident. This is a surprising safety helment  that only activates should the bicyclist abnormal movements in the event of an accident. The sensors then send a signal to the gas infiltrator to inflate the airbag. The rest of the time it is a stylish collar. Pretty ingenious but pricey, when I researched it more it was listed for 3998 Swedish kronor= 577.9109 U. S. dollars.  If you want more information on this item look at  http://www.hovding.com.
