[@JamesJones-tu4pq]

@IHateMyAccountName just saying that's not how gforces work like at all they all would have experienced the same amount of gs from the same highth with the same weight the fact they said the test showed wildly different numbers was a scare tactic to keep people from buying a helmet that was cheap but still did the job just fine

[@natec599]

@@JamesJones-tu4pq well, a heavier helmet would have more energy to injure your neck and back in an accident. I paid an extra $200 for the same model helmet in carbon for snow-machining because it was in my mind safer. It also came with a fidlock chin strap which was probably worth it alone

[@aaronthomas6155]

@@natec599 In Donut's drop test, all helmets would have the same energy at impact because they would all be travelling at the same speed. The difference is how the lining absorbs and disperses the energy at the time of impact. This test by Donut is utterly useless since most helmets will never be subjected to such circumstances. The same goes for driving a vehicle over the helmet. Quite honestly, if you fall on your head from a height of 10ft+, that helmet is not going to save your life. Lighter helmets generally mean less structural integrity. In other words, less safe. If you're truly worried about neck injuries, you should be wearing a neck brace. Whether it's something as cheap as a simple foam donut style neck brace or a HANS device doesn't really matter. A proper neck brace will help support the weight of the helmet, as well as prevent the types of movement that typically result in neck injuries.

[@thebarkingmouse]

One safety comment, on removing seats. I'm sure you guys are aware but you didn't mention it at least not so far in the video, some seats have airbags built in. Disconnect your battery and let it discharge before you go fiddling around with those unless you feel like having one explode in your face.

[@thedawex90]

Was just going to write this. The airbag system is really sensetive, and disconnecting parts of the system without having the battery disconnected can make them blow.

[@MrWaarden]

Actually. Airbags are not that sensitive..

[@lucid523]

@@MrWaarden on some cars they are and other's their not

[@eknapp70]

This is an 06 wrx

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

I can't believe this wasn't mentioned. And regardless if the seat has an airbag in it, all cars within the last 20 years have occupancy sensors to disable the airbags if no one is sitting in the seat. Disconnecting these will cause an airbag light and potentially not deploy the airbag in a collision. On the track you don't want airbags, because of cages and helmets etc, but most people watching these videos are going to drive both on the street an track, this is a big miss in my opinion.

3:48 The editing in this channel is so slick. I love it

[@jakematthews6982]

Personally I think it would have been good info to share that those yellow plugs that were disconnected were part of the airbag/srs system(s). Any yellow connectors or wires are for those systems. They may be passenger occupancy sensors or seatbelt squibs. Occupancy sensors tell the vehicle to deploy the airbag/seatbelt squib when an impact is detected and it senses an occupant in the seat. If nobody is in the seat it’ll prevent the passenger airbag(s) and squib from deploying. The seatbelt squib tightens the seatbelt when an impact is detected. Since the topic of the day is driver/occupant safety it would have been good to cover those topics informing anyone who doesn’t know that they’re disabling the whole airbag system by disconnecting even one of those components.

[@Kaldryf]

So RaceQuip looks like solid gear for the money, and ideal for those of us just starting out with our race cars. Sparco is what I'd get with fat sponsor dollars but I'm totally impressed with what Low Car is getting this series.

[@FireCat005]

Sparco also has the most budget friendly option in seats, the Sprint. It's about $400, FIA approved, and one of the narrowest seats available. It was the only one I could find the fit in my Z3, also really popular for Miatas for the same reason.

[@tonyovermyer5368]

Definitely something to think about. My project car is getting a cage and racing harness, but the car was built in the 70s where all you had was a lap belt so that is probably still a safety upgrade. On a newer car I wouldnt remove the airbags and factory belts

[@jetstream01]

The gear test, while appreciated, proves exactly what I've been telling everyone for years...any helmet over $200 or so will give basically the same amount of protection in a real crash. Dropping them from 6ft was WAY more gentle than a real crash...and the roof test showed all 3 helmets did nothing to help in a super high impact situation. The main differences between a $200 helmet and $2000 helmet will usually be fit/comfort (although more expensive definitely doesn't mean it will fit YOUR head more comfortably), sometimes weight, and wind noise (for motorcycles). This is coming from someone who unfortunately has lots of experience wearing and crashing in both cheap and expensive helmets. After about $200 there is diminishing returns on helmets (assuming the helmet is certified).
