Swedish designers have created a cycling 'collar' that is worn around the neck with an airbag hidden inside. When sensors in the device determine a crash has happened, an airbag, called Hövding, instantly inflates around the cyclist's head to form a helmet.
The device has been tuned by recreating hundreds of accidents using crash test dummies and real riders. The airbag stays inflated for several seconds. It is powered by a rechargable battery.
