[@paulolange3462]

Even in the drop test, you can see the bouncing difference. I don't ride a motorcycle, but $360 is pretty less expensive then a new head

[@truantray]

Paulo Lange That is not a proper test. Did anyone weigh the two melons?? Did they hit on the same angle?? This is not how helmets are tested.

[@AGD_27]

@@truantray everyone knows this is not an official test just a demonstration. The tests that Snell and other helmet testing foundations do back up the finding here. There is no harm in using a simple experiment to visually show the difference between the 2 helmets and the observations are valid even if the results are slightly skewed by small inconsistencies.

[@matts.8342]

@@AGD_27 If the melon didn't fit properly in the helmet it wouldn't have mattered which one it was in. If there's any gap between your head and the helmet your going to get both the impact with the ground and the impact between your head and the helmet.

CeSayrise lolol but seriously I didn't know people did know about that

[@jeepinbanditrider]

I can't speak to car helmets but motorcyclist magazine did testing on actual testing equipment and At that time they found that Snell offered no extra protection over DOT. This was vack on 2006 I think. They lost a ton of ad revenue from the test but it did spur SNELL to update and rethink their testing procedures and requirements.

[@jeepinbanditrider]

This is a good read if anyone is so inclined. Keep in mind its an older article and the SNELL standard has been updated since then. Most likely due to this article. motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/MotorcyclistHelmets.html

[@Donut]

DOT standards are really good, and very similar to snell- but the DOT doesn't test them, they just tell the company what tests they need to pass.

[@PACKERMAN2077]

Donut Media it's like checks and balances in our modern democratic government.

[@unclejoeoakland]

Its waaaay more complicated. First, I read the article and it was not very well written. Second, I really like Snell BUT these guys are almost making the argument tjat a pricey helmet is always better and that a Snell helmet is always better- and I know those are neither necessarily true. The cool thing about snell is that they certify and they update standards. Third- read the Hurt report. DOT is way past due for update. Fourth- so long as the helmet meets DOT, the two best things you can choose for are full face cover and a really good fit- snug, not too tight, good contact all over, no hot spots. Serious. This is your life we're talking about

You should explain the difference between "M" rated and "SA" rated. M is for motorcycles, they are designed form more abrasion. SA stands for sport application and is designed for more impact. SA is usually required for auto events.

[@dangerpudge1922]

Except... A $40 Snell approved helmet meets all the same standards a $400 Snell approved helmet does. Aaannd there's been some re-thinking of having such a hard shell due to secondary musculoskeletal issues. Also, a poorly fitting helmet, regardless of certification or price, is bad. Don't do it. Short answer: Don't shop by price. Shop by certifications and fit.

[@fakename287]

Throughaclearlens Life except that Snell approved helmets that cost $40 brand new aren't really a thing...

[@SideWaysiscool]

Lmao, DOT and Snell are different

[@dangerpudge1922]

SideWaysiscool yeah, that's what I said. Buy the certification and fit; price has nothing to do with it.

[@samjohns513]

More expensive helmets are almost always better and you wont get a snell helmet for less than 200...plus the snell ratings change

[@dangerpudge1922]

Sam Johns an Arai and a Shoei are both rated identically. The former is about $150 and the latter generally starts at $400. The rest is fit, graphics, and venting. And with very few exceptions, the Snell certifications have remaine'd remarkably consistent. I'm wondering if ANY of the responses to my comment are even from folks who've ever even worn a helmet or done any sort of research on them at all.

Listening to this with headphones, and you can hear the huge difference of the two helmets as they hit the floor. The more expensive one sounded waaaaaaay better. As in most cases, you get what you pay for.

[@wrath7649]

I think what you’re hearing is the shock pad exploding

[@JeffReeves]

I appreciate you guys doing this comparison. One thing I found when doing research for helmets is that you are more likely to smack right on your chin or the back of your head. So testing an impact directly on the top of your head probably isn't an ideal test. Also, you have to factor in how the rest of the body works with the fitment of the helmet. Even if your head is in one piece it doesn't mean your neck isn't broken.

[@Chubby_Lemon]

check sharp rating, they do different angles etc and mips reduces torsional forces on the neck
