If you have to ask.......

That looks very cool! I wonder when/if they'll be commercially
available/affordable.

Looks like they've finally got a non-Newtonian liquid to do something
useful... I looked on the 'website' (http://www.d3olab.com/) for the
d30 material, says there that there's a football (soccer) goalkeeper
equipment supplier using the material in gloves and shin pads, so at
least here in the UK we might have a pad available with this material
in it quite soon.

Loose.

Looks like someone should send them a video and get sponsored.

Unicycling would be a good advertising avenue for them. Since
unicycling is a good cross-training sport, protective gear developed
for it could translate back in to other sports.

some'n tells me that material would be shredded off the back of your
legs in no time! (until they can prevent pedal pins from tearing
through)

Those look very interesting.

In one section there's a photo of a guy wearing one of their products,
wielding a large chainsaw with one hand, with nothing covering his face
and a hoodie for body protection, and no gloves. As the 661 label
says, 'this product is not intended to protect parts of the body which
it does not cover'!

Also there's silhouettes of various different sports, and one of them
appears to be curling, how exactly does a serious curling head injury
happen?

But I digress.

Of interest to unicyclist (who get bashed about a bit and have the
money) is that SixSixOne are bringing out "Evo Knee & Elbow" pads. They
will be available soon (mid Feb) and they incorporate this d3o
material.

Amongst other things using d3o there is now a football* by Puma!

(*That's real football, sometimes known as soccer :p)

Similar stuff has been developed for soliders in Iraq (when a bullet
hits it it becomes ridige)
