Agreed, fugly.

I like the principle behind the materials, but I think I will just use a regular helmet anyway. They look much better in my opinion.

What the fug?

Non Newtonian fluids do some cool stuff. Even better when they're solids.








And apparently now ribbed for her pleasure.

I love non-neutonian fluids. I always wanted to do this!

That is cool.

What would the advantage of that be over a "traditional" helmet? I think, a helmet, esp the newer bicycle-like ones (ie .giro 9 etc.) would do a much better job at breathing with the vents and all.

I think it would play a better role in protective clothing, ie. ski racing suits, body armor type stuff.

 

[ctenidae]

They already use it in racing suits, and are working on military applications.
I like them because the material is cool, and one would fit into my bag better than a helmet, which isn't terribly packable.
