Saw an amusing incident involving a Boris biker wearing a Hovding (cycling airbag helmet thingy) a couple of days ago near the Brunswick - I think he took a corner too fast, skidded a little bit, bumped the kerb lightly, and bosh the Hovding inflated around his head with a loud bang. It He looked fairly embarrassed, as he tried to take it off.
Those things are expensive, and single-use right? I guess it's better for them to be too sensitive than the opposite, but I'll stick with a helmet for now.
