When I go on holiday, I always wear a very light-weight hoodie top. It's perfect if there is a short rain shower; warm enough for air conditioned buses; has zip up pockets for storage etc
All it lacks is a double layer in the hoodie part, so that when you pull it over your head, you can inflate it
either partially or totally, using a small rechargable auto pump.
Now cocooned inside its protecting air-padded interior, you may sleep in total comfort provided by the comparative darkness, neck support and resulting noise level reduction.

This is brilliant! Would be ideal for snoozing on planes, too.

MB dropped this (+). Let me just pop it up there where it belongs. |
|
| |
//you can inflate it either partially or totally, using a

|
| |
For simplicity sake, how about just a mouth-valve?
Great idea, btw [+] |
|
| |
... that's for topping it up. |
|

This needs the following improvements:
Make it
capable of inflating to three times the normal size
when so actuated.
Install CO2 cartridges for
very rapid inflation.
Install shock and motion
sensors here and there.
...And I give you...
the body airbag! Keeps you much safer in most kinds
of accidents including auto accidents, (in or out of
the car) falls, (from heights too) certain earthquake
and weather related dangers, (many cases
of)drowning, and the like. |
|
| |
Baked or not, I really like the Inflatable Hoodie idea.
So much, I went looking for one...Not sure about the
body airbag. Besides saving you from those accidents,
it pretty much saves you from living a normal live.
Like a bubble boy suit? |
|
| |
Every time I see your moniker [Boomershine] it makes me think of this game. [link] |
|
| |
[2 fries] Oh, crap...does this mean I'm Baked? |
|
| |
(Boomershine, btw, is a name I picked out of a
phonebook...really: Skippy W. Boomershine.) |
|
| |
Every time I see your moniker, I want to send you a
couple of fries. |
|
| |
I imagined this would be to prevent head injuries, during scuffles in queues outside nightclubs. |
|
| |
...or when falling down the stairs drunk. |
|
| |
I just looked up that Burton Hoodie link and it only features a removable inflatable neck pillow. In other words a poor imitation! |
|
| |
Is it OK to inflate it before exiting the aircraft ? The instructions on every single lifejacket we have abstracted from your aviation vehicles* always say "Do Not Inflate". |
|
| |
*Do not be afraid. We always leave a precise, if non-functioning, replica in its place. (We are not savages. We only wanted 263,485,355,812,641 of them as a souvenir). |

|
| |
Well, good. I couldn't find a good description of that
model (although, that's the part I like the best). |
|
| |
Anyway, bun from me, Baked or not. [+] |
|
| |
Excuse me, 8th of 7, are you under some delusion
that you are an alien or aliens? I'm not trying to
offend, rather to comprehend. |
|
| |
//are you under some delusion// Let's think this through,
shall we? Under what possible circumstances would they
answer "yes?" |
|
| |
Maybe if they were really *_delusional_ aliens*? |
|
| |
You may very well be baked [Boomershine].
'preciate the sentiment on the fries. Not sure I'd know what to do with'm if I had'm. |
|
| |
You mean it *wouldn't* make you happy? WTF? |
|
| |
//_delusional_ alien//
Whose delusion was that it was a delusional Earthling whose
delusion was that it was an alien.
Dammit [Boomershine] you are giving me a headache! |
|
| |
It's an alien deluding itself into thinking it's an
earthling deluding itself that it's an alien, clearly. |
|
| |
Would this squash your cheeks together so your mouth squishes out? Just a question, not a criticism. |
|
| |
If so, it would probably ensure that you got a seat to yourself as well, 'cos a) you'd look pretty insane and b) once you fell asleep you'd be 90% sure to dribble. |
|
| |
I suppose it could feature fold away insect mouth
parts, that were normally stuck down with velcro.
Include two compound eyes that also inflate to
provide extra padding, and you'd probably get most
of the cabin to yourself on any flight. |

1. We are not delusional. |
|
| |
2. We are not an aggressive hegemonising swarm of a collective cybernetic life form. |
|
| |
Only one of the above statements is true ... <snigger> |
|
| |
I expected something like: |
|
| |
We are not a middle-aged(ish) Trekkie with a
fascination for things designed for killing people. |
|
| |
Just from a quick assessment of your list of ideas and
the tenet of many of your comments, you
understand. That and the fact you can actually spell. |
|
| |
//I expected something...// |
|
| |
[infidel] There's your problem. |
|
| |
It *might* not make me happy, but my meal would be. See? |
|
| |
How can a patent be granted to an idea that I created at a prior date? |
|
| |
What about inflatable shorts? If you see something crawl up your pant leg you would have an additional line of defense. |
|
| |
This is close enough to an idea we considered posting to be practically a duplicate, but the title we had considered was "Human stampede airbag" ... a garment which protects the head down to the pelvis in a rapidly-inflating cylinder which leaves space in the interior for the wearer to breathe. |
