Simu and Manjit team up to back innovative kids' helmet company

CBC GemDragons' Simu and Manjit strike a deal on Bold HelmetsA Sikh couple innovated a new helmet for their kids, one that accommodates their religious faith. Now they're seeking a deal to expand into a bigger market.

Like many Sikh families, their boys wear their hair tied in a top knot — a joora — secured by a small piece of cloth called a patka. It's an integral part of their religious faith, but it also makes it impossible for kids to fit into a regular sports helmet., for kids of Sikh faith. It has room at the top to comfortably fit their long hair and covering.

Their pitch brought a tear to Manjit's eyes. "My grandfather passed away because he had an accident on a motorcycle. They thought he was fine, but he had internal bleeding. He passed away two days later," she reveals. "It happens to a lot of men who are not only riding motorcycles, but who don't have the options."
