Foldable paper bike helmet for your pocket
A paper bicycle helmet that folds to the tenth of the size of a regular helmet has won a prestigious engineering prize for a female inventor. Isis Shiffer, 29, an industrial design student, won the 30,000 pound Dyson design prize for her 'EcoHelmet'. The helmet is intended to be cheap - priced around 5 Euro- for bike rental schemes where people don't have protective headgear. The helmet, made out of paper, folds out like a honeycomb and has a coating that makes it resistant to rain for up to three hours.
