Introduction: 

Bicycle and motorcycle use is widespread throughout the world. Daily, millions of people use bicycles and motorcycles for transportation and for recreation. A needlessly large number of them are killed or permanently disabled as a result of a head injury received from a fall or during a crash. Tragically, many of these head injuries could have been prevented or their severity reduced through the use of a simple and inexpensive helmet.

The proper use of helmet is the single most important strategy in the prevention of motorcycle injuries. Though motorcycle helmet use is mandatory by law, a significant proportion of the public does not wear helmets. Even amongst those who wear helmets, a majority either does not fasten the strap or tie them loosely. This results in inadequate protection in the event of a crash.

The main reason for not using the helmet properly is the uncomfortable feeling associated with it primarily due to  air circulation and lack of awareness

CONCEPT WE ARE USING

Designing a helmet that has proper venting system for better air circulation.

The various features of the design are as follows:

Self-circulating airflow inside the helmet.

Front entrance holes for cool air.

Exit holes for warm air.

Channels for air flow circulation.

High flow air vents.
