R2-D2 crash helmet is the droid you were looking for

What happens when you cross love for the Star Wars franchise and its characters with idle hands and plenty of time? Why, you end up with DIY projects that are Star Wars-inspired, case in point this homemade R2-D2 crash helmet. Jenn Hall is the beauty behind this unique crash helmet – it is more or less guaranteed to capture the imagination of any motorist, helping her be seen whenever she rides her scooter or bicycle around while wearing it.

It does not look as though this helmet is going to turn around suddenly and let out classic R2-D2 sounds, although we are quite sure that someone out there might just come up with a special mod to make it all the more authentic. It does seem as though the flashing red bulb works just fine, and would add another dimension of visibility whenever you wear this while riding in low light conditions.
