Your article states that APC have invented the first airbag helmet, that is incorrect, our company SRS Sirbags have patented an airbag helmet and are soon to start production, our helmet is a complete airbag liner inside the helmet, the rider inflates the helmet via a bulb once the helmet is fitted to his/her own comfort level and will give greater support for head injuriesm we may consider a joint venture partnership or other arrangement.
