Helmet technology has been pretty static for decades, but lately it\u2019s been hotting up. I can think of a few helmets in the last couple of years, from the moderately innovative, to the radical \u201cInvisible\u201d helmet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now there\u2019s a new shell for your nut, waiting in the wings. The Bling Helmet claims to be \u201csmart\u201d and brings new powers to the lowly and previously dumb helmet, including lights, music, phone calls, walkie-talkie and SOS messaging. Phew.<\/p>\n

\"Livall<\/p>\n

The helmet comes with the Bling Jet, a remote control for your helmet. It allows you to control your helmet\u2019s lights and control your phone, so you can answer calls, play music, and even shoot video of your ride.<\/p>\n

The SOS Alert is triggered when the helmet detects a crash or fall, it automatically messages your emergency contacts.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t you just see your buddies slapping you around your head trying to trigger the SOS message? Or is that just my idea of fun?<\/p>\n

The Bling with the Jet remote control will retail for around $238.<\/p>\n
