​The Hövding airbag for cyclists is highlighted at a large congress of orthopaedics and traumatology

The Swedish innovation company Hövding has been specially invited to speak at Europe's largest congress for orthopaedics and traumatology in Berlin and to give a presentation on how the head protection of the future can provide better protection for cyclists in the event of an accident.

The prestigious German Society of Orthopaedics and Trauma (DGOU) has invited the Hövding CEO, Fredrik Carling, to present Hövding at the congress.

"It’s glorious to be invited to be among all these medical professors and doctors to present Hövding as the head protection of the future and show how the airbag for cyclists provides protection in the event of an accident", says Fredrik Carling.

Last year, the DGOU recommended that cyclists use the Swedish innovation of the airbag for cyclists. Their experts highlighted the superiority of the Hövding as head protection in the event of a cycling accident, pointing out that the airbag also protects the neck and much of the cyclist's face.

Hövding is currently used by over 185,000 cyclists and there have been more than 4,000 accidents recorded in which Hövding has provided protection in the event of an accident.

The large congress in Berlin takes place between 22 and 25 October and this year there are expected to be around 10,000 participants representing around 60 nations.
