Default Rear view hemet!

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Reevu has come out with a new helmet that may save many lives. Introducing the MSX1 helmet, this features an integrated 180 degree rear view mirror system that lets you see what’s going on behind you. This is possible by a series of unbreakable ABS mirrors strategically placed inside the helmet which gives it an LCD Display effect without all the expensive equipment. More details can be found at Reevu.

A new dawn has arrived in helmet development with the REEVU motorsports helmet. REEVU have created the world’s first patented rear-view helmet range that gives the wearer that all round vision “at a glance.” REEVU believe that they have made a helmet that will help prevent accidents because we all know “prevention is better than cure”.

I think this seems like a really good idea, all depends on how "real world" useful it is...

repost but i still advocate the idea, everyone should see it

of course the first couple seasons of production will see these things get out-of-hand expensive... but given some time, and assuming the camera used is reliable and of high quality, this will catch on and eventually become a (see: the) standard.

I thought it was all done by mirrors. It seems like it could be a good idea but it probably is more distracting to whats going on in front of you then help see behind you. Thats just me though. My side mirrors work fine to see behind me.

Price is in the $600-700 range I believe.

You could do mini camera + an LCD screen up front under your windscreen for cheaper. Do like one of those backup camera deals except leave it on all the time.

Mirrors work for me.

Seems like a waste of money and an unnecessary distraction.
