The Hovding Invisible Helmet makes the regular bicycle (and motorcycle) helmet look fashionably cool.  The wearer puts on a deflated scarf like accessory, that on impact, inflates into a full sized helmet protecting the whole head with shock absorbing material. The inflation process requires the wearer to charge the helmet using a USB port. The main point here however is that fashion is about to dominate the helmet world.
