Will this actually pass safety tests? :eek:

Carrera has something similar but not that extreme.

but "flat" might be helpful in some situations.

Otherwise this will do the same thing for your normal helmet:

Very interesting concept and very reasonable estimated price point, considering the costs of higher end helmets these days. It would be nice to see what sort of safety tests they are doing on these helmets, but as is, current helmet safety tests are still pretty lacking.
