Could a Simple Sticker Save Your Head in a Crash?

Interesting. Highly specific type of impact. You know me, I'm all about better technology with respect to helmets but I'm not sure this is all that "game changing" unless your helmet is currently coated with skateboard grip tape...

What's a deckal?

OK, now that the ugly American comment is out of the way....this is interesting. Not sure I'd buy it and put it on my helmet, but I like seeing helmet innovation. Just this morning I was reading a story on NFL guys and all of their head issues, it's so gnarly and sad. Hopefully helmet technology continues to evolve and we're in a different place soon.

I like it. Helmet makers purposefully make helmets smooth, with no "catch" areas so the helmet slides better across a surface easier. This would enhance that property.

The next 10 years are going to very interesting with helmet technology.

Heck! I'd be sticking them all over my body!... wait... then I'd never stop sliding down the hill... until I ran out of hill or something solid stopped me I guess....
.
So... in the short vid above... is the material on the helmet or on that angled surface the helmet strikes?
Just curious because they don't show the side of the helmet.
Depending on the quality of the testing... I'd do it. Maybe they can customize the top layer with varying graphics?

Isn't there a new helmet from Bell/Giro that has a external shell that is design to slide away during twisting impacts like this?

It's MIPS for the outside of the helmet. Great idea...

for smoother skateparks, this seems like a money idea.
