Ohhh kay? And besides “sounding really gross” how does that help us? Watch the video my friends. After I saw it I must say I like the idea… but couldn’t you just coat your helmet with teflon? Maybe I don’t fully understand the mechanics behind it, but if it makes riding safer? I LOVE IT!
For a bit more info check out the title link to Scooter-Station. You can also check out the Lazer Helmet site or watch this video on their production facility. One problem, it looks like Brazil is the closest distributor we’ve got. :(

To be honest, I never thought of my scalp as an ablative coating for preventing spinal cord injuries.

Marketing hype. The rotational dynamics of a helmet with a head in it that is attached to a body are entirely different than the helmet alone. The inertia of your head/body are way more than enough to overcome the slight drag it encounters when hitting the pavement.

What Tim said: Not a demonstration of physical propensity, and hardly a demonstration of `safer`. Hyper-rotation is a function of mass and velocity, not the skiddyness of the bonedome.
Lazer can have that new technical word, we shan’t be needing it.
