Indeed, once risk has been weighed, it sometimes seems as though safety isn't worth extra effort. The Tandem Helmet makes your decision to protect your head a great deal easier because it can accommodate a pair of people without taking up any extra space.
Even if you're riding around on a scooter, a Vespa or a motorbike with the space for an extra passenger, you may not have the most convenient option for stashing an extra cranial shell. Germain Verbrackel's idea was thus to work two helmets into one, enabling the driver to wear both pieces of protection at once to save space. Should a companion be picked up or taken on an errand, the Tandem Helmet separates into two slotted counterparts to provide ample padding in the instance of impact.
