Good Luck.
Two Swedish design students have invented a totally new kind bicycle helmet. People are saying it's invisible because you cannot see it a cyclist's head. The "invisible" helmet is really a kind airbag. It is inside a large collar. People wear it their neck like a scarf. When the cyclist falls his/her bike, the collar quickly fills gas and an airbag surrounds the head. The two students, Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin, wanted to change the way people cycle. They said: "Bicycle helmets have always been the same. They’re so bulky, like a hard mushroom your head." They called their new invention the Hövding. The pair said it looks so fashionable that "people would be happy to wear it".

The inventors started research and development the Hövding in 2005. They examined thousands cycling accidents. They wanted to find how to make the safest helmet. They then teamed with a Swedish airbag company called Alva. Today, the Hövding company has a staff 17 employees. They hope their helmet will change how people all the world cycle. their video, Haupt and Alstin said: "Cars are so yesterday. Bikes are the future." They also said their invention would make them millionaires. People can only buy the Hövding helmet online Europe. It sells around $530. The company did not say when it would be available the rest the world.
