New folding bike helmet to make bike ride safer

Washington: An inventor has designed a folding Morpher bicycle helmet that packs down flat, so that users can easily carry it without hauling the regular helmet around.

According to Cnet, creator Jeff Woolf drew his inspiration from two things: a nasty accident which he survived - thanks to the helmet he was wearing and the number of helmet-less cyclists. Morpher helmet squashes down into a flat shape to tuck away and can then be popped back into shape when a person wants to use it. Woolf is currently raising cash through a campaign on Indiegogo to put its unusual helmet design into production.
