ISI vs DOT, ECE, SNELL, SHARP ratings / certifications on helmets

[@shravansp24]

the main problem is not with their breaking but with the amounth of flex! every hit the ISI helmet takes, i goes deep inside and again flexes out like a water bottle! so it's definitely going to affect the head.. whereas the dot certified helmet was very sturdy and didn't have much flex! you should have tried them with a watermelon or something inside

[@twistednemo]

Shravan Also, this video hardly shows how well a helmet will work in case of a crash. A helmet is designed to decelerate the skull of the wearer over as long a duration as possible. That means the helmet and its contents will have to be in motion. Hitting a stationary helmet with a sledgehammer only shows the strength of the shell, *not* its ability to protect the soft mushy brain of a human being.

I appericiate the effort you guys put in this and destroyed helmets costing so much. So basically its not abt hw many hits the helmet can take.. Its abt hw much force it transfrs to your skull in case of a crash.. Still great content 👍

[@amalkallarackal9293]

devashish chauhan yes... I haven't seen any isi helmets with an outer shell and an inner shell and then the thermocol lining though... At the same time have seen many dot and ece ones having such multiple layers. Which means they will take a lot more impact before transferring that energy to the inside. Along with that the way they have a lot more padding than normal isi helmets means that the head won't go to an abrupt stop in case of a collision, which is the reason why some riders loose consciousness and sometimes go into comma in case they come to a violent stop. Helmets with multiple layers, padding and international ratings any day over isi one's as far as I'm concerned.

[@4jhaayy850]

Yep. Content is kind of misleading.

[@twistednemo]

Thank you! This is the only comment thread that to some extent sees through the pointless test in this video. A helmet is indeed designed to decelerate the skull of the wearer over as long a duration as possible. Hitting a stationary helmet with a sledgehammer only shows the strength of the shell, *not* its ability to protect the soft mushy brain of a human being.

[@ahmedajmi8173]

These helmets are supposed to take single impact from accident in a short span of few seconds and not multiple impacts. So ISI helmets from reputable brands have good enough protection. DOT helmets are expensive and not everyone can afford them, but its helpful for those into motor racing or high speeds

[@YashMoh]

Yeah, but this video hardly shows how well a helmet will work in case of a crash. A motorcycle crash helmet is designed to decelerate the skull of the wearer over as long a duration as possible. That means the helmet and its contents will have to be in motion. In case of a crash, the helmet shell has to distribute the force of the impact over a large area and the liner has to compress and dissipate the kinetic energy of the wearer's head. Hitting a stationary helmet with a sledgehammer only shows the strength of the shell, *not* its ability to protect the soft mushy brain of a human being.

[@superchargedpetrolhead]

ISI < DOT < ECE < SHARP < SNELL

[@kinguin7]

supercharged petrolhead I agree on the order of how tough the tests are, but that doesn't NECESSARILY mean a helmet with a more stringent certification is safer than a helmet with lesser verification. For example, a helmet that far exceeds ECE certification could be safer than a helmet that barely earns SNELL. SHARPS is nice because they actually tell you the results of the test.

[@njan_sonu]

Isn't sharp a rating. snell and ece standards

[@superchargedpetrolhead]

snell and ece are just on crash worthiness and safety hence i think they are standards and sharp is more of a well rounded test which consider safety along with some comfort and fit and finish and hence a rating i guess and helmets made or sold in europe should be sharp rated and it is more of a european specific testing, i guess

[@twistednemo]

Wasn't the 2005 Snell standard dangerous for street use because the liner was to be kept extra stiff to ensure the ability to absorb impact forces in multiple head collisions in a crash? Also, the video does not demonstrate the ability of a crash helmet to absorb impact. To test that, the helmet needs to be in motion. We are not talking about construction site hard hats here after all.

@@letsgearup6675 Thanks for the valuable video. My question is aren't ISI helmets from Reputed brands good enough for City riding which are in the speed range of 40-65kmph at most. And there have been many instances of accidents within city limits where riders have been Safe without head injury with ISI helmet. In your test the ISI helmet did show to good protection despite 2 hits, Helmets are designed for single hits, the remaining impacts after first one are considerably of less force so using Hammer twice isn't best way to simulate results for real world . Everyone cannot afford 4-5k ECE of DOT certified helmets. The reputed brand ISI helmets cost from 800Rs. To 2000 Rs and in my opinion is enough for City conditions.

Sooo ppls prefer an non certified helmet than a helmet that has safety standard? Idk man i rode a motorcycle for daily commute and i ofcourse prefer the helm that have standard not a cheap bread crumb helmet. Maybe just maybe some ppl watch that dude doing mtbike then crash and saying that helmet should break when youre crashing, then saying all helmet should break. If you know the padding on bike and motorcycle helmet different. The big name brand have special compound to absorb the momentum and the shell should notbreak just watch fortnine videos if you doubt it. My teory is, why bicycle helmet is so easy to broke is so you can buy more helmet from them. But who knows 🤷‍♂️

[@oso1165]

wouldn't side impacts be better test than hitting it directly on top? just seems like you're more likely to smash the side of your head if you go down than the very top

[@twistednemo]

Plus the road is not in motion in a crash, the rider is. That means the helmet and head are in motion and the helmet has to decelerate the head of the wearer so as to keep the mushy brain from turning into scrambled eggs. The test in the video does very, very little to show how safe a helmet will be in a crash. This test only focuses on the shell not the liner.

[@aleksandrpaniutin4028]

The funny thing is that DOT are not actually tested. They put a sticker that looks like a helmet and supposed to meet certain standards but they do not crash samples to see if helmets handle them good. Snell and a few others do crash and check

[@TimePass-eh3km]

You guys simulate a real life scenario of suddenly hitting the wall while riding. Very practical(clap clap clap). And yes ece, sharp and snell rating are also mentioned and explained in detail as written in the video title.

[@PhantomRides]

Not to sound like am coming from a different school of thought but the age of the helmet also matters greatly. D.O.T. Certified helmets are tested at a speed of 15 mph at best. SHARP rated are the highest. In India we should do fine with ISI Rating as long as it's fastened properly by the rider. Hammering helmets is good but always ride safely first. Great video. I own a MT Helmets Axxis Falcon myself. Cheers!

[@AshishPrasanna]

Phantom Rides coz you don't cross 15kmph?...absurd

[@PhantomRides]

Ashish that's my point itself lol... Don't we all ride above 15 mph and what is the safety of any of these helmets combined with other factors included in a crash say vehicles, objects on the side of the road, terrain etc. So you can never be 100% safe. My next helmet with be Sharp 5 star rated for track days.

[@twistednemo]

Actually, that is a valid point about the speed rating. The 2005 Snell standard was dangerous for street riding because the liner was too stiff as it was designed to absorb forces from *multiple* head impacts. Also, this video hardly shows how well a helmet will work in case of a crash. A motorcycle crash helmet is designed to decelerate the skull of the wearer over as long a duration as possible. That means the helmet and its contents will have to be in motion. In case of a crash, the helmet shell has to distribute the force of the impact over a large area and the liner has to compress and dissipate the kinetic energy of the wearer's head. Hitting a stationary helmet with a sledgehammer only shows the strength of the shell, *not* its ability to protect the soft mushy brain of a human being.

[@mohammedsalman5563]

People saying Studds, Steelbird are better brands of ISI marked helmets fail to note that to get a safety certification the helmet has to reach a preset criteria regardless who made it.

[@alec-s]

Helmets must protect head hitting on something, not being hit by a hammer while resting on the floor. There's lot of difference, because the mass exerting force on the liner is inside. outer shell must "amplify" the contact area on wich the head must slow down his speed and the eps liner is requested to brake the head in a given space....

Nice one... but a thought though! Usually, in the real world falls from a moving two-wheeler, research shows that the majority of the impact is on the chin area (14%). The remaining % are distributed to the other parts of the head. It would be better if those impacts are simulated in this experiment. That is, the ability of the helmet to take up the impact and protect the chin area. I am sure none of the real world falls will impact the centre of the head (as shown here when hitting it hard with a sledge hammer), unless it is a high-speed collision on a freeway / high way or a roll-over in a motor race situation. Also, it would have been better if you have a water-melon or pumpkin inside the helmet (as someone rightly pointed out below), then it could give a visible cue of the extent of damage done, to the viewers. Good Try anyways ~!

It's not a locker safe man, it's an freaking helmet to divert the impact to itself away from ur head.
