How does your bicycle helmet fit?

According to the News Scientist, BICYCLE and other sports helmets could be created with a custom fit. Based on a database of 3D scans they have learned that, “The back of the Chinese head is a bit flatter, and from the top they are rounder,” said Johan Molenbroek from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, who advised on a project called SizeChina. This deters some Chinese people from wearing helmets for cycling or snowboarding, he says.

Hopefully, smart helmet designers will use this data to help them make semi tailor-fitted helmets for the mass public. But until that happens, my advice — just wear the helmet.
