The last face plant (last vid) could still be catastrophic.

I'll give them an "A" for design effort though.

Looks like it came a bit too late for the designer as well:

Looks to me like these two gals wouldn't need a helmet in a wreck, invisible or no. Seriously, look at that hair. A buncha hair gel would probably work better than that inflatable thingy. Hey, note to girls: Big Hair Saves Lives.

You've got to be kidding me. That hair is clearly going to *increase* the damage in an accident due to the increased neck torsion!

Big hair is a personal choice.
