wow, I was really impressed by the article. hopefully there are some changes in the way lids are marketed. I'd rather see a complicated list of stats for a helmet than to see a certification stamp. (typical engineers type brain : )
And it was the first time I've ever know what the different certifications actually meant.

though It may have fallen short of being a full-on scientific method study (small sample size?) It did show some interesting results.

I trust nothing that bigoted yellow - journalistic piece of crap says.

Crsuty -- I semi-agreew with ya, but it was an interesting piece of work, nonetheless -- pointed out what many have been saying for years, i.e., the Snell Foundation's focus on autoracing (no sin, of course), and their lack of real world research in MC matters . . . .

good read, good data, it appears (backed up by other's research), and only reenforces the need for an up to date Hurt study

That article, depending on final fit and finish, may influence my next helmet selection...


...interesting that some of better known helmet manufacturers declined to participate.

Hey Crusty, in the same issue Mitch Boehm takes a race prepped XB out for a spin with a good report...

Tell me; did they try to run it up to 8 grand so they could see it smoke like they did with the S2 10 years ago?
