Okay, if I still haven’t convinced you to ride on trails instead of roads, at least prepare for the inevitable by wearing a helmet. And if you don’t like wearing a helmet, it looks like we’ll soon have an alternative (or even an addition) for keeping your cranium safe.
So here is the world’s first inflatable helmet. It’s like an air-bag for cyclists. Take a look and remember, you saw it on trailsnet first:

Sorry to hear you had a crash. I hope your regular helmet protected you somewhat.
The inflatable helmet is pretty incredible. I’m not sure if it’ll catch on, but it’s a great idea.
We'd love to read your comments, suggestions &/or trail information.Cancel reply

Awesome! Love the slo-mo! Could’ve used that a while back for my crash.
