re: helmet protection
It's an expensive turban, and could be too late when you find out it doesn't work as well as the video!!!!!May be persuaded if I could find someone that's got one already.

Looks like you still have to comprimise on the fuller safety that a helmet provides but better than nothing at all I guess.

re: helmet protection
I have always worn a helmet snowboarding, a nice one with earphones built in and I actually prefer it to wooly hat, I have an instructor friend works in the States she has always hated helmets but now wear the Red padded pom pom hat and says it's a good comprimise, I guess for fashon consious girls it might be the thing, perhaps not as good as a helmet but a lot better than nothing and if she wears it all the time without complaintre: helmet protection
Had a look at the RED pom pom hat - and it is just a padded pom pom. They also say that there are no official tests for 'soft' headwear hence it doesn't comply with any current standards.Found this sky news item, but still can believe it's that good!

The idea behind the technology isnt really new. You can simulate it at home with some cornflour and water. Mix it up in a bowl till it becomes a stodgey / gooey mixture. You can pick it up in hour hands and it wall behave like a liquid, run through your fingers etc. If you do something a bit more vigourous like hit it or roll it quickly into a ball it behaves like a solid, peculiar properties but it works. I remember seeing it on Blue Peter or How! (Giving my age away) one of those types of ...
