    The bicycle helmet with its own synthetic scalp
    A new design of bicycle helmets that features a synthetic scalp to reduce the risk of rotational head injuries is to go on sale within a year.

    Regenerative Helmet for cyclists fits like a glove

    The regenerative design looks as if it has very poor ventilation, but I could be wrong. Also the bit about "proven to save lives" in the opening paragraph is not correct. Not if you're a statistician anyway.

    I reject the first one on aesthetic grounds. It's all kinds of stupid ugly.

    Second one seems like a great idea. It would be nice to wear a helmet without feeling like I was increasing my chances of serious injury.
