The Voztec helmet, developed and now under test by NSW-based public company Voztec, is designed to be quickly removed to allow medical aid for the motorcyclist at the scene of a crash.
To put the helmet on or take it off, the rider opens or closes a hinged rear-section which uses an over-centre action to lock or release.
There's an integral chin cup but no strap and Voztec says it fits more safely and comfortably.
After a crash, the latch on top of the helmet allows the front to be removed seperately so paramedics don't have to cut off the helmet to help save the rider.
Voztec, which recently received Federal Government funding, says the helmet now is in its final testing stages.
