How close they are to just passing or exceeding the ece 22.06 testing?Įnergy reduction over the minimum required to meet ECE22.06 to see which performs the best and by how much more than others.įor the helmets that are just trying to keep you alive, I can see more of a pass fail level that the changes in impact absorption would not really matter as much. Wouldn't you like to see how much better one helmet did VS another helmet though? So you could see which helmet would have the best chance of being the most protective for you? Like see some numbers that show what the difference is between brands and models. If the certifications are the ultimate measure of a helmets safety, wouldn't it be helpful to see which passes by more in what areas? Wouldn't it be nice to know how all of the top helmets performed against each other and which just passed and which passed by a mile. Įven if its not possible to do the perfect test. Maybe you can explain why the SM8 would perform better in one of their higher speed impact tests than the SM10. and explain how much energy reduction you can expect to get in which types of crashes with the newest ECE certification VS the older one and or others. Maybe you could describe the ultimate independant testing methods. I was hoping that by posting that link, that maybe somebody would know of another testing site and provide some more info on helmets. But just because he is one of the best in SX doesn't mean he would be any good in the woods. Eli Tomac and the guy that gets lapped 2 times in a main event both have Pro SX licenses but one is a faster rider in SX. That doesn't make me an equally qualified driver to every other driver with the same license. I have a drivers lic, AKA I am certified to be able to drive. And gave a way to compare some type of testing besides meeting a minimum. It was just the ONLY place that I saw some type of testing that named each brand helmet. With all of the different ways helmets are absorbing energy, there has to be some that do it better than others right? I'm not saying that the link I posted is the info I wish was available. ![]() So knowing which helmet is really the best at protecting from whatever types of crashes you may be more likely to have would be a good tool. Even if the standard for the certification is pretty high, I would imagine that every helmet is not going to perform identical. Not just which helmets meet the minimum standards that were set. Why would I only want to know the results of a helmet tested in the conditions it performs best in ? If that has nothing to do with how I will use it. Of course no crash is going to be the same, as any testing. I assumed that a test that said that one helmet had a higher score than the other at higher speed impacts would be better at reducing the energy in that type of impact. Of course every helmet will perform best in different conditions, that is why a test that names brands and models would be helpful. That was able to do it at the levels that it would take to be done and be very informative. And like I had said many times over I wish there was an independant place that would test and name names to show which helmets performed better in different types of crashes for people to be able to go and see which helmet may be the best helmet for them with the type of riding they do and and have an idea of which would perform better for them. I was just posting it to provide some more info on helmets. ![]()
