Invisible bike helmets sound like something out of Harry Potter, but no, they actually exist! Swedish entrepreneurs Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin began working on the game-changer in 2005, as part of their design master thesis. They wanted bikers to actually want to wear a helmet — no small task, since, as Terese put it "They're so bulky, like a hard mushroom on your head."
So, with the help of a few trauma experts, the duo invented a super smart collar (pictured above) with sensors that react to abnormal movements, inflating a hidden head-encompassing cushion at the first sign of an imminent fall.
Pretty amazing, right? Just think — this could be the end of helmet hair. See it in action
