A helmet crash test study

Just some interesting info on the % of impact that happens with helmets. ie. a half helmet is about 38% affective for protecting your melon.

I really don't expect to survive a crash at highway speeds, at least I hope not.  Less of a helmet may help with the instant death I want to have if I ever crash.
