I'm assuming this works on the same principal... clever.

yep, should be exactly the same principle, the same thing is also being applied to ballistic protection with potential for making a full body suit resistant to 7.62x53mm and equivalents while being flexibleand not as bulky as current generation vests offering a similar level of protection for a smaller surface area.

Hmm, I'd love to see this in action. I can't count the times I've going 25-30 in a neighborhood and didn't notice the speedbump 'til I hit it full force lol

We don't need speed bumps here... Our roads test even the best off road vehicles. Our roads look better than the moon scape...

Low, med or fast speed doesn't matter.. Your vehicle will brake..

Best part is the government got wise and made a law that there not responsible for the accidents or damages you suffer on there roads..

To bad it doesn't have sound. Like a giant Whoopie cushion.

Reminds me of the days when I delivered pizza... but I wasn't puttering along at 25-30.

That might make speedbumps so much more fun to drive over. Kids would love it, no doubt.

After those Mel Gibson flicks, I thought thats how everyone drives in Australia.

Given the state of our roads, and how others drive, it's almost a requirement! Just that the speeds rarely get over 35 kph!

Good God man, you people drive slow!

that IS a non newtonian fluid
