D30 SUPER protection - Come off at 60 mph and be unhurt

Well think about it if you hit it at enough speed then you might as well use a steel plate, theres only so much armor can do (at the same thickness) before theres enough force going through the plate to damage you.
Try decellerate 100kg within that 1/2" of armor and theres only so far it can protect.

Cool idea, and probably better than current foam, but not going to work miracles.

Very true... But I think the real use for this is going to be the flexibility, it might not save your life but it might save you from crippling injury. Imagine a boot that's flexible enough to walk on but that solidifies on impact, frinstance. Or finger protection on a glove.

You've got a point there, be like medieval armor without the sharp bits lol

Unless you're Soulkiss, as you'd have foam pointy bits made

For more information see the manufacturers web site http://d3olab.com
There are already bike gloves that use this - http://www.racergloves.com

Wow pointy armour and killer foam jammers Soulkiss and Northy wierdness all we need know is some of Hovises randomness!
