Okay that was almost sickening in the way it was presented. From delusionally grandiose to strangely sexist as if from decades past.

I don't know how I feel about the product. It is not an invisible bike helmet. Rather it appears to be a bike helmet that only deploys under certain specific conditions - like an airbag. That's fine - so I need to know how it works and under what specific conditions it deploys. The demos look fairly comprehensive but the whole thing gives off a vibe like a con job so I don't know.

I have more questions for dem bitchez than answers at this point.

I know it won't deploy if I casually run my head into a tree branch or something. Not that I do that a lot.

Hopefully it will deploy if I enthusiastically jump off my bike. That would be hilarious.

Seems like it would require a bunch of complicated sensors 'n shit. Do I need a special bike? Do I have to change my habits to stop the thing from deploying? Like it seemed to know that the one guy was going on his side - but suppose I just want to lay my bike on its side on the lawn for a second - which I have done 10 billion times in my life - do I trip a sensor and and my headbag goes off?

Are the sensors within the helmet itself and it detects odd head angles? Some of the head angles where it was deploying in the demo do not seem that outrageously unusual that they couldn't happen during a moderately animated normal conversation.

As I say, more questions than answers.

The thing doesn't really take any less effort to put on than a traditional bike helmet. I guess the big feature is coolness. You don't have that dorky thing perched on your head.

I admit, that counts for something.

I think if I saw those broads in person in Sweden I would probably just start masturbating, making sure not to look at them directly and aiming in the opposite direction.

Damn socialists.

I do like the sound of Swedish. German and Polish, fucking nasty. But Swedish, good.

Yes, it's beautiful.

I'm wondering how well it actually protects one skull. Also, it's invisible. That was misleading.

im wondering about the fucking morons who have contributed 10million to this

kato tells me this is all the rage in the mormon forums

 

[MrMonkey]

Swedish girls invent invisible clothing!

Nudity and public masturbation.

No wonder Sweden usually ranks in the top ten nations.
