Title: A helmet crash test study
Post by: Fireguy on July 18, 2010, 03:52:46 PM

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

Interesting......The Jaw/lower face area is about 35% of impact.

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.
