[@artiecisneros4691]

Wow! What patience and determination, you left me speechless. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@yanava]

For everyone questioning the safety, he used tools and processes consistent with what factories do to make this exact same helmet in its carbon version. I know it's not tested and he should never sell it - he probably has no intention of ever doing it as multiple lawsuits would income very quickly - but this is probably even safer than what he started with. There is A LOT of overlay between the carbon fiber sheets, so the helmet would never split in half. Also he used the original padding, which is certified. The engineering is preserved by his moulding technique. He could take this to a track and he would be as protected, if not more, than someone using for instance a cheap SA2020 helmet.

[@atsushiishirame4858]

would you honnestly bet your life on it bro ?

There is real science and engineering behind making a helmet safe. Especially for a company like Arai. This is nothing more than a show piece that should never be used for anything other than sim racing.

[@yanava]

@@johnjacob688 science and engineering go into designing the helmet and the build process. The rest is mechanical. You'd be amazed at how little skill is needed to reproduce it once it's done.

Actually thats only thing he could use it for it is too hard for use in real life becouse helmets are made to absorb impact and his helmet is equivalent in hardness to steel helmet if not even harder so thats why he uses it in sim

[@966Mako]

Beautiful job, but a tip for poor people like me. Don't do this to a new Arai helmet, go to a Pawn Shop & get a 2nd hand helmet.

[@markbrouwer4901]

Just DON'T buy a 2nd hand helmet. I dont say every 2nd hand helmet is bad but there are a lot of clone's out there with a populair brand sticker on it which will most likely kill you rather than saving your life in case of an accident. Also you dont know the history of that helmet, the previous owner may have dropped it without having much damage on the outside but on the inside there may be damage. Me personally would just save up a few hundreds dollars extra to get new gear than buy it for cheap from some pawn shop

[@Aamar-g6k]

@@der_kanadier It is probaly safe for Driving on the Motorbike, because the filling Material is from Arai and that takes most of the Impact from a Crash but dont quote me :)

[@JamesJones-tu4pq]

Because the plastic skin that's not even 1 mil thick really helps absorb the shock not the padding on the inside.

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

The filling material was made for the inside of the original helmet. Not the outside. No matter what is done, the carbon fiber “whatsit” is way bigger than the original helmet.

[@BuildTheSandbox]

Helmets are designed and then the sticker is slapped on. Who knows if yours would even pass the asinine Snell test when they ram a metal ball the size of an orange from 10 feet above. Because that's so relevant in motoring applications...

Hello friend. That's possible. But, hand-layed forged carbon fiber is very difficult to sand. You have to spend a lot of time sanding (flattening). And your helmet gets heavy.

I'm not sure anyone would argue it, but I don't know if this can technically be certified. Unless you're racing at the higher levels, I doubt anyone would question it. I'm sure it would pass if it was to be certified.

@@Jeffball610 No DOT certification, No Snell certification, no Bueno . . . no matter how good of a job he did. They test for more than just impact. Perfect for his application however. And that's the coolest looking helmet ever!

[@rOUNDeGGROLL]

@@Jeffball610 It'd never pass any certification with a seam down the middle. Helmets are made seamless for a reason. Many times has a helmet been hit and split down the middle on older tech. Thats why no one makes helmets that have a seam down the center, carbon fiber or not.
