While being on a motorcycle would certainly go a long way in helping you reach your destination at peak hours earlier compared to those driving a petrol guzzler, there are also risks associated with this particular mode of transport – we’re talking about getting clipped by a larger vehicle and falling down the wrong way, which could be fatal. At least you do what you can by wearing a helmet, but that offers only a certain degree of protection while your body remains exposed. Still, in the event where your head is about to receive a really large knock, a helmet is always better than none at all, and should paramedics arrive at the scene of accident to help transport you over to the hospital for treatment, the removal of a helmet is of utmost importance, which is why doing so carefully is vital to prevent additional trauma. The Splinter Motorcycle Helmet concept that was concocted by a student at Bournemouth University in the UK can be easily disassembled via side clips which unlock the interior, allowing the helmet to slide apart for easy removal.
