Hövding ("Chieftain" in Swedish) is an airbag bicycle helmet,[1] launched in November
Hövding was invented by Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin in Malmö, Sweden in as a master thesis for the founders' Master of Industrial Design at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University in Sweden.[2] Their studies included the comparison of accelerometer data from bicycle crashes against 'typical' cycling.[3] The Hövding contains accelerometers that detect unusual movements which then deploys the airbag if the movement patterns match the profile of a crash.[4] Each Hövding airbag also contains a "Black Box" that records the accelerometer data 10 seconds before a deployment.[5] The Hövding collar is constructed of a waterproof material, and has interchangeable fabric "shells" that allow colour customisation.[4]
