This is the Hövding. It wraps around your neck like a collar. In a crash, the helmet inflates and engulfs your head.the Hövding isn't going to replace the traditional cycling helmet any time soon.The airbag is designed like a hood and made in an ultra-strong nylon fabric that won't rip when scraped against the ground. Hövding protects nearly all of the head while leaving the field of vision open. The inflated airbag covers a much larger area than a traditional cycle helmet and is designed according to current accident statistics.

The airbag fixates the neck and provides extremely soft and gentle shock absorption. The pressure remains constant for several seconds, making it able to withstand multiple head impacts during the same accident. After that, the airbag slowly starts to deflate.

Thousands of tests were done, re-enacting cycling accidents using stunt riders and crash-test dummies, to collect the specific movement patterns of cyclists in accidents. In parallel, an equal amount of normal cycling data has been collected using test cyclists wearing Hövding in everyday cycling. Based on this collected data, we have developed an algorithm that can distinguish normal cycling from accidents.Hövding Guerilla event -- live crash at Stureplan 2.

Hövding is an airbag for urban cyclists, that has superior shock absorption compared to the traditional bicycle helmet. You wear it in a collar around your neck. The algorithm in Hövding registers cyclist's body movements 200 times per second and reacts to the unusual behavior. In case of an accident the airbag inflates in 0,1 sec to protect the head and neck from injuries. Our airbag has three times better shock absorbance than other helmets. 8 times better protection, including reducing the risk of concussion, has been proven by Stanford University.
