A Stronger Bike Helmet, Made of Cardboard and Inspired by a Woodpecker
- warrenm 14y agoInteresting concept - I would love to see some independent testing of the design for approval into manufacturing. Also, calling the cardboard's structure a special honeycomb is a little over the top: it's corrugated. Like the packaging that makes up most boxes made of cardboard. It's pretty normal stuff - he just cut it into distinctive shapes and put a plastic shell over it. Other question - how does it respond to the rider getting sweaty? Last time I got cardboard damp, it lost most of its structural integrity.
- warrenm 14y agosaw the bit about the coating they put on the cardboard - it would seem that would impact its crash dampening ability
