Whilst mooching around the Autosport show at the NEC I came across an advert for a product called "Eject".
In simple terms, this is a small, folded, inflatable blabber that you place inside your helmet, in the event of an accident the bladder can then be inflated and your helmet removed without any additional pressure on you neck.
The bladder is inflated either by a manual bulb (similar to those used in blood pressure cuffs) or by a small CO2 cylinder device (like those tyre inflation cylinders).
The helmet then comes off your head without the need to manipulate the head or helmet.
It's an American invention that I'd never come across before, so quiet how widely known it is in the UK I'm not sure. It does seem to be a very simple solution to a problem that we all hope we never have!
