Motorcyclists are one of the most vulnerable road users but also one of the most daring. Among them, safety is as common a topic of conversation as the weather is for the English.

Towards a financial goal at Indiegogo it's a motorcycle helmet Skully AR-1 crushed in the style of Marc Márquez, because on this platform for crowdfunding collected almost in one day 600 thousand euros (or 187 thousand in 8 minutes) and thus instantly exceeded the goal. Now he only drives honorable laps until September 9, but people still don't leave the stands. No wonder when it comes to law revolution between the helmets, innovation, which is to her CNN attached the title the best of 2014.

The Skully AR-1 brings the biker even closer virtual reality and drives more on the road informed and consequently more smart driver. For a helmet that is in continuous use without charging hold on 9 hours (then he loses his super powers but he's still 100% safe) will have to look deep into the wallet, but that's better than looking too deep into the glass and getting behind the wheel. Maybe with the upcoming ones already announced helmet applications there is also one who will take a breathalyzer test and, as a result, allow or forbid driving a motorcycle and call a taxi.
