Unless I'm missing something where there is some kind of locking mechanism, how is that even remotely safe? Hit anything with that helmet and it will collapse into your head offering no protection at all.

My latest book: "Out of the Melting Pot, Into the Fire" is on sale on Amazon and at other online and local booksellers

I see that they have a "Nordic" version available too.

Hello windschatten and All,

Maybe something like this technology is coming our way in bike helmets ....

https://www.geekwire.com/...h-tech-vicis-helmet/

Excerpts:

"The $1,500 ZERO1 helmet, priced higher than existing options, features a unique design that is meant to mitigate the forces thought to cause concussions. Unlike traditional helmets, the outer shell on the ZERO1 is deformable and yields much like a car bumper upon impact. There is also a layer of flexible columns in the helmet that can absorb impact before it reaches a head.

“You don’t feel the thuds as hard as they normally are,” Avril said."

"The helmet finished first in the NFL’s 2017 Helmet Laboratory Testing Performance Results, which assessed 33 helmets that could be worn in the upcoming 2017 season and determined which was best at reducing head impact severity experienced by players during games."

cool helmet design guys. Although I don't think the first design is of that much help as I am concerned about it how protective it will be.
