[QUOTE="Jim Crenca, post: 924113, member: 22335"] There is a lenghtly article that includes testing of helmets in the May issue of Motorcyclist magazine. The short version is that DoT thermoplastic helmets may be safer than SNELL approved helmets as they don't transfer as much energy to the brain upon impact. The article includes a modified test plan that uses apshalt against the helmet as opposed to a chunk of steel, and, they use a single impact instead of the 2 impacts that SNELL uses. The above is a hugely condensed version of the article but, ther numbers indicated that a $100 DoT helmet transfered much less energy than a $400 Arai during independant testing. Anybody have any insight on this one? :bang: [/QUOTE]
