About: Hövding 2.0 Airbag Cycling Helmet
Made by Swedish company Hövding, this device replaces a traditional bicycle helmet with a smart device worn around the neck like a scarf. The Hövding uses accelerometers to continuously monitor the cyclist’s movements. If the accelerometers detect unusual movement indicating the cyclist is about to crash, the airbag inside the device instantaneously deploys to cover and protect the wearer’s head before they hit the ground. Students Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin invented the Hövding for their thesis project while earning a Masters Degree in Industrial Design at Lund University.
