Yes, in the Polytechnic University of Valencia, a group of Engineers has invented a folding bike helmet.
Here you can watch a video, which gives you the explanation:

The speaker of this video says: “With this simple movement, the helmet is folded and placed in the bag, the action summarizes the work developed by a group of Engineers of the Polytechnic (University) of Valencia, next to the Institute of Biomechanics, which has employed unique technology in Spain, for the hull design………….The helmet set with three pieces, which move in a telescopic way; absorbs impact, leaning one piece on another”.
Carlos Ferrando (Helmets Closca Founding Partner): “It is a similar mechanism that can happen with cars, ranging collapsing parts, instead of being a rigid chassis, bouncing upon impact”.
The speaker: “The lack of funding in Spain, made them to search other routes;they found them on the Internet”.
Rafael Cerdá (Helmets Closca Founding Partner): “We present the project, people like .... brings money ..., what rafter of what? ..... Once fulfilled the necessary money, is given a gift, this gift what is it? ... a helmet”.
Paco Alonso (the speaker. Drawing Community of Valencia): “This is Crowd Funding (Micro Mecenazgo). With this system, they have managed the 45,000 dollars, they needed to start manufacturing in series”.
This is too interesting. Is not it?.
Till soon, kind regards,
Luis.
