A Morpher Folding Helmet Saved My Life

17-year-old Jerome Hardon has just survived a very nasty bike accident and the doctors told him that the helmet he was wearing is the reason he did not die.

Jerome is like many cyclists that use their bike to commute every day. Despite knowing the risks of not wearing a helmet he never wore a helmet because he just didn't want to carry it around with him when he wasn't cycling. Luckily, Jerome recently came acrossMorpher Folding Helmetsand started wearing one on his daily commute to school.

"Before seeing theMorpher Folding HelmetI would have never put one on because I always thought they were too bulky and just too big to take one with me to school every day. So, I never wore a helmet till I saw that you made those awesome folding helmets. I bought one probably a month ago and the timing could not have been better. I had a serious accident and came off my bike, I'm still not sure how it happened. I was on my bike and I fell. I was brought to a hospital and they told me that if hadn't I worn a helmet I probably would have been dead", says Jerome.

Seen below the Morpher Helmet Jerome was wearing when he had his accident - you can see the scratches down the side of the helmet how it protected his head. The angle of the impact matches the angle of the injuries on Jerome's face. The Morpher took the impact - Jerome's head did not.

Invented to help save lives, the multi-award winningMorpher Folding Helmetis the "no excuses" piece of kit that every cyclist needs. It folds flat and slips into a bag, making it convenient and portable and like with Jerome, it could save a life.

Morpher was invented by two times British Inventor of the Year, Jeff Woolf OBE, who has spent years designing, perfecting the product and raising funds to bring Morpher to market. Morpher comes in a range of colours and is available from the Morpher website with free delivery worldwide.

Jeff says: "Jerome's story is just incredible, I can honestly say that it has just made six years of hard work and struggle completely and totally worthwhile. I have always said that the saving of a single life is all the thanks that I wanted for all of the stress and struggle that went into creating this brand and I am completely delighted that it has now happened. The fact that Jerome would not have been wearing a helmet at all before he discovered this folding one is even more testament to why the product that my team and I have created is so important and worthwhile".
