    Wow - but quite a bit heavier than most helmets.

    Looks a bit warm in Summer - even if summer only lasts a week in Scotland.

    Always suspected it was only a matter of time before that insurance ad. with the guy falling off some scaffolding spawned the personal airbag.

    I'd be looking for a whole body one for the full Michelin-man effect though.

    Neal Stephenson, SF suthor of the ace and win Snow Crash, Diamond Age, Cryptonomicon, as well the truly epic and frighteningly well researched System of the World historical romp trilogy, came up with that idea.

    He also invented Google Earth, although I think like Arthur C. Clarke he didn't patent it, so legally Google Earth invented Google Earth. Read Snow Crash if you don't believe me.

    Are these outfits somehow supposed to be more visually appealing?
    I reckon most folk would look more 'normal' in a full fluorescent yellow Lycra gimp suit and helmet, than these outfits.
