# Nesting Head Protection The Tandem Helmet Separates into a Set of Two for the Passenger's Safety By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-11-05 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tandem-helmet References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/share-the-protection-with-tandem-helmet/) & [turing.lecolededesign](http://turing.lecolededesign.com/gverbrackel/germainverbrackel.com/TANDEM.html) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vespa-smeg-futro) or a motorbike with the space for an [extra passenger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scooter-platform), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-helmets), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nesting Head Protection:** The trend of developing helmets that can safely accommodate multiple people provides opportunities for innovation in the field of personal protective equipment. - **Multi-person Safety:** The trend of developing safety equipment for two people, like the Tandem Helmet, has potential for adoption in transportation industries such as ride-sharing or on-demand delivery services. - **Space-saving Design:** The trend of designing products that can save space by combining multiple functions increases efficiency and convenience for consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Personal Protective Equipment:** The Tandem Helmet demonstrates potential for innovation in the personal protective equipment industry, particularly in developing helmets designed for multiple passengers or workers. - **Ride-sharing:** Adopting the Tandem Helmet for use in ride-sharing services could provide enhanced safety and convenience for passengers and drivers alike, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty. - **On-demand Delivery:** The Tandem Helmet's unique design could be a game-changer in the on-demand delivery industry where safety and efficiency are important factors for success. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flatpack Cyclist Safety Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-helmet-concept.md) - [Inflatable Accordion-Style Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ventete-ah1.md) - [Interchangeable Component Sport Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-helmet.md) - [Origami-Style Cyclist Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raba-helmet.md) - [Self-Inflating Bicycle Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumpair-20.md) - [Helmet-Secured Bike Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-board-helmet.md) - [Foldable Air Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ventete-ah1.md) - [Foldable Light-Integrated Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fend-super-bike-helmet.md) - [Collaboration Sport Use Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malle-x-nexx-atp-helmet.md)
