In Sweden invented and made the world’s first airbag for cyclists.

The invention distributes the company Hovding Sverige. Pillow is worn as a collar at the neck (keeps it in the first place mind), and inflates in 0.1 seconds.

This thing does so. Thanks to advanced sensors, it defines a standard model for the motion of the body of the cyclist when riding and reacts when the body begins to move outside the framework of this model.

Technology has been developed since 2005. In case of accident, the airbag is inflated, locking your neck protected from fracture) and protecting the head. Turns out this thick white hood.

The pillow can’t be used when riding a moped on skis or a skateboard – it is designed specifically for cyclists and adapt to their movement. She also for a number of reasons, security not suitable for children – it is allowed to use at the age of 15.

Pillow reusable – after deployment, it is possible with the help of experts to bring to its original state. H?vding requires energy, charging via USB, battery life – 10 hours of active Cycling. Full charge time – 3 hours.

Three choices of sizes are S, M and L. the Size S is recommended for necks with a circumference up to 36 cm, M – for necks with a circumference 34-42 cm and L – cm 38-45
