ThermaHelm is a new type of motorcycle helmet, since it has a built-in cooling system to keep your brain nice and cool post-accident. The technology can save a motorcyclist life, since most motorcycle deaths occur when the brain swells after an incident and before the ambulance arrives. Basically two pockets, one filled with water, and the other filled with ammonium nitrate ignite to create a cooling effect to stop any swelling from happening.
This $490 invention will be available in the United Kingdom soon, and they are even in works to improve the design with a video camera, GPS, and Bluetooth included. Meaning, as you lie there with your brain on ice, you can replay the video to why this happened while talking to your mom. This is definitely an improvement in helmet design. In fact, it is quite amazing! The only thing that could make this more amazing would be a commercial with a watermelon staying deliciously chilled after it fell down. Did anybody else grow up with those bicycle safety videos that used watermelon, instead of childrens' heads, to show what happens when you don't wear a helmet (I'll give you the ending, it does not pan out well for the watermelon)? Such a classic!
