Now do this put-the-text-back-together activity.

This is the text (if you need help).

Design students invented a new bicycle helmet. It's called the Hövding. It is invisible. It's really an airbag inside a collar. People wear it like a scarf. When the cyclist falls, the collar fills with gas and becomes an airbag. The students think normal helmets are too big and look like mushrooms. They said their helmet is fashionable.

The students started their research in 2005. They studied many cycling accidents. They worked with an airbag company to make the safest helmet. They think bicycles will be more popular than cars. Their company has 17 workers. They will be millionaires. People can buy the helmet in Europe. It costs about $530.
