Would you wear one of these?

The seven mini-cameras, secured in the helmet’s air vents with a layer of foam, record video at 30 frames per second with a resolution of 720x480 (that will be upgraded in the next version). They provide a 360-degree view of an accident as it happens. All of the core data is saved in a detachable USB drive integrated into the helmet. "A paramedic could pull the USB drive out, stick it in a laptop, and see what happened,"

No - but what about one of these?

This oh-so-clever helmet contains:

• Intel Edison wearable device Atom computer
• Bluetooth radio
• Magnetometer
• Gyroscope
• Two accelerometers to detect a sudden impact
• Communications hardware to call pre-set emergency contact number
• Above-the-ear speakers
• Microphone
• LED headlight

The positioning of the webbing straps looks odd, has he got it on back to front?

Some of the basic helmets have straps that cross in the top of the helmet, and if you don't cross them they end up like that on the face.

I would sooner donate my still-attached testes to a gypsy for sledge hammer target practice than wear a helmet (unless wearing one is a pre-requisite for a sporting event). I would sooner spend my time and effort focussing on continually developing my riding skills to lessen the odds of me needing one in the first place. Helmets are not a cure for crap cycling. Donning a polystyrene lid will not render you immune to crashing, and unless you crash and hit your head within the tight BS Kite mark window of 'protection' it is frankly a lottery as to whether it will help or.....make things worse.

Yeah I love straps across my face while cycling.

I wonder if the tech will be to this standard: CLICK?

I wouldn't wear a cycle helmet with so little ventilation. The multiple cameras would capture glorious footage of a sweaty betty like me collapsing from heat exhaustion.
