    The clever invention is worn round the neck like a scarf and covers the head moments after the cyclist is clipped by a car and seconds before they hit the ground.

    It remains to be seen whether the invention will take off or be endorsed by the safety campaigners due to the effectiveness of helmets.



    Airbags in cars were first introduced in the United States and were hailed for saving the lives of millions of passengers involved in accidents.
    They have become more developed over the years including being deployed quicker and differing in shape and size.
    Airbags have been responsible for some deaths over the years, however, when they deployed without there being a need to.
