Ever consider what would happen if you were out on a solo ride and went down hard? The ICEdot was created for that very reason. Here's how it works:
ICEdot is taking personal safety for action sports to a new level with the ICEdot Crash Sensor. The Crash Sensor will mount onto any helmet. When paired with the ICEdot app on a smart phone, the system is able to detect motion, changes in forces and impacts.
In the event of critical forces, the device triggers the app over low-energy Bluetooth to sound an alarm and initiate an emergency countdown. Unless the countdown clock is stopped, the app will then notify your emergency contacts and send GPS coordinates of the incident so that appropriate follow up actions can be taken.
The sensor was mounted to the new POC Octal road helmet, but can be strapped onto any lid. As a side note, we were told that POC will be updating their Trabec and Cortex helmet designs in late 2014.
