    That abomination needs to be cast into the fires of Mordor from which it came.

    The result is the LumaHelm, a flashing headpiece with 104 multicoloured LED lights that illuminate like indicators when a cyclist tilts the head left or right.
    Interesting concept and full marks for creative thinking, but I'd be worried about getting those lights and and AA batteries embedded in my skull if the primary function of that lid is called into play.

    Hmm....how about a helmet that sprays indelible dye over the car....might be handy in a hit-and-run scenario?

    It could also help rock climbers communicate as they are scaling cliffs.

    Huh? Unless it was used by a climber to indicate "I'm falling to the left/right, clear a path there!" I'm struggling to understand how it could be useful for climbers.

    There was a similar design shown by an Irish young fella at the Young Scientists exhibition last year. So the Aussie's don't have a monopoly on an odd approach to unfashionable headwear.

    ...though I might consider wearing one if it was equipped with a rear-facing highly visible billboard that could display messages as the rider thinks of them e.g. "Sit and spin!", "It's not road tax, ye spanner!", etc.
