New helmet design with LED lighting
I’m seeing newer helmet designs these days with innovative safety features. I just saw a helmet today that had a bright white LED strip on the front and a thick red LED strip on the back. The LED strip on the back lit up like a brake light on a car when the biker was braking. The same back LED would blink on the left side for left turns and on the right for right turns. I am curious what the community thinks of these newer designs.
1. Are newer helmets with highly visible LED lighting legitimately safer than traditional, less visible helmets?
2. Do you think the newer technology could save more lives on the roads?
3. How many of you would seriously consider upgrading to a helmet with LED technology because of the visibility/safety benefits?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
