Alright! Here is a definite must have for me: smart armour! As most of you know, I am not only a geek who likes to sit in front of his computer. I really love extreme sports like snow- and skateboarding, surfing, bmxing, parcourse, martial arts and the like – the general high-adrenaline, possibly high-impact sports. Now here is an invention that would make my mom – “you really need to lower your guts, give some to your sis” – happy and protect me for fractures and internal bleedings. I’ve just been in the hospital too many times. The new smart armour promises to be flexible in use but when it gets an impact it’ll harden, thereby protecting your body. Finally i can start practising my backflips, butterfly kicks and insane jumps again
