--- Quote from: Kean on August 25, 2019, 08:40:03 am --- --- Quote from: EEVblog on August 25, 2019, 08:36:36 am ---According to the founders CV she's been working on this since 2016, but only now (Perry) is asking for a mechanical design engineer with impact testing experience? https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/GnXaMCE5EFaTnV --- End quote --- Because they've finally realised it can't actually be made from paper and work? Rain could be a major problem as well as impact resistance. I guess it is disposable, but if it starts raining on your route, you still need it to function. --- End quote --- Furthermore, cyclists will get sweaty heads, exacerbated by the thermal insulating of the helmet itself. That’s the reason I don’t wear a helmet when cycling, I am sure I’ll be berated on here for it. I’m an overweight tootler, not a member of the lycra brigade. I am also wondering just how “eco” this disposable/recyclable single use helmet is, other than a marketing moniker of course. |

--- Quote from: EEVblog on August 25, 2019, 08:31:36 am ---I've heard that Perry has had the idea of a foldable helmet for many years. --- End quote --- She knew she needed plan B >:D |

(Attachment Link) --- End quote --- I think this picture is also up for witty captions, for some reason I can only think of rude ones. Perhaps not quite the vocation Meredith was looking for. |

I worry that air turbulence caused by the openings in the paper folds would slow me down. |
