Other Applications
I ask Jeff about other applications for the Morpher Helmet and he shares hist thoughts about a military application. They are also working on a morpher helmet for children. As a parent, you want your children to be as safe as possible when bike riding. The morpher helmet for kids or kid size morpher helmet to me is a no-brainer.
Jeff shares many of the obstacles involved in the patented process including the use of magnets, as it needs to open and close quickly, the use of hinges that interlock like a dogs teeth , and how it folds without sacrficing safety.
Hospital Visit
Morpher Helmet Safety…Jeff shares how he receive a letter from a bike rider in Zurich, Switzerland who believes his wearing the Morpher Helmet saved his life. So Jeff went and visited him in the hospital.
Bike Share Schemes
We discussed that cities with bike share schemes are on the rise. We invite you to check out bike sharing programs facts. I believe it’s in an attempt to relieve traffic jams in large cities. Every rider is a potential customer. I believe the Morpher Helmet is the best so…
We discuss how the helmet laws have changed over time. Very few children wearing bicycle helmets and now it’s the standard and Jeff shares his thoughts. I think the Morpher Helmet is cool where other bike helmets are and the reason is…the Morpher Helmet folds in half and when you are carrying it, it can hang from your belt.

The Morpher Helmet
Jeff Woolf had a severe bicycle accident on the road in Hampstead, London and believes because he wore a helmet, it saved his life. So he performed a survey where he learned the majority of cyclists were riding without helmets. This survey found that most cyclists said that they didn’t use one because they felt that they were too cumbersome to carry around all day. As a result, Jeff designed the Morpher Helmet that folds flat and more portable.
