This is in reference to bicycle helmets, but the principle would be the same for motorcycle helmets. The point is that helmets are not all they are "cracked" up to be and above a specific impact point a brain is going to be injured regardless. As for the neck air bag thingamajig....., I got no problem with folks wearing them if they like, but I'd still rather see the focus on crash prevention than crash survival.

Film made by Hövding, april 2014.
Short film about why cycle helmets are far from as safe as we think they are, highlighting the gap between traditional cycle helmets and a new, radically different alternative: An airbag for cyclists.
"Hövding is the biggest thing since the emergence of the cycle helmet and, as a milestone, is equivalent to when the airbag was developed for cars."
- Maria Krafft, PhD, Associate Professor, Head of Division Traffic Safety & Environment at the Swedish insurance company Folksam.
"I have spent much of my professional life working on product safety at national and international level and I have never seen a cycle helmet that provided anything like the level of protection that the Hövding provides. Naturally I hope it will be used by a lot of people in the future"
- Stig Håkansson, former Director of Product Safety at the Swedish Consumer Agency.
