Take the extra step in protecting your noggin from serious injuries with ThermaHelm ()$475. This ingenious carbon-fiber helmet prevents the swelling and overheating of the brain after impact. The ThermaHelm is equipped with a two thin layer of chemical packs — one filled with water and the other with ammonium nitrate — that are designed to mix together when a crash occurs, triggering a cooling reaction around the head.

— Interesting concept!

I was with some LBers having a drink in the pub on Devil’s Dyke on the way back from the coast last summer when some guy started handing out cards advertising this. He was the inventor.
