Aero folding helmet: http://www.jaminleather.net/images/h1381a_1719.jpg

I'm pretty sure this is a recumbent rider in a 'bent folding helmet:

This folding helmet wearer is clearly ready to absorb some energy and

The conclusion is inescapable-- folding helmets are hott, hott, hott!

Good idea. I just came back from a trip where we took along five bikes
(and five helmets) and the helmets take up a lot of room. Whether you
believe all the helmet studies or not, in many states helmets are
required for minors, and this helmet would make it less hassle to carry
them.

Spam aside, not a bad idea, actually. (Gotta like the Anvil Drop video!)

Helmets take up a lot of room in a pack or bag.

And you can put your folding skull inside it as well. Thanks, but no

It is cute I suppose. Really, I just leave my nasty sweaty helmet
attached to the locked up bike in the forlorn hope some swine will nick
it. Then I'll have an excuse to get a newer one.

I've been dissappointed so far.

Helmets are ugly in appearance already without this uber kerfugly
addition.
