Hammer test on MT, AXOR, SMK, VEGA, STUDDS & AXXIS HELMETS

Hi,
In this video without any biasness have tried hammer testing by hitting helmets from SMK, VEGA, AXXIS, AXOR and MT with a 27.3Kgs Hammer (Mighty Thor Hammer XD)
Well the results were surprising to know watch the video :)
Let me tell you briefly if one helmet is flexing a lot that means shell and EPS is not dissipating the force generated by the impact correctly , rest you all know while watching the video :)

This is not how the helmet safety is measured. It is by measuring the impact inside the helmet. For example in this video if you see the crash on second helmet, you could see how the helmet bends while it’s getting struck. Even though the helmet is not damaged, it transferred all the force inside and that is why it was not damaged. If you see the Axor/MT one, they were not deformed a bit on striking with the hammer but it got damaged, which means that they absorbed all the impact and did not transfer it inside. They save the head by absorbing the impact while the second one saved itself by transferring all the momentum to the head. Obviously no helmets should be reused after a single crash if you are too serious about the safety. It is not how the helmets save themselves from crash, but how helmets save what is inside them from crashes. I appreciate the effort you put in making this video but unfortunately, this one id misleading. Helmet crash tests are not done this way.

[@emmanuelpraveen1]

A good helmet is supposed to break up on a heavy impact.. If it does not, then most of that energy is transferred to your skull during an accident.. This has higher chances of your skull cracking.. So they say a good helmet should break if it has a very high impact.. So according to this SMK helmets are one of the best.. Please do your research and your engineering before you come to a conclusion

[@TigerKoul]

You mean to say all those road side helmets which breaks easily are better ?

[@varadjoshi6523]

​@@emmanuelpraveen1Nahi bhai. Flexing is important. Not breaking. Difference hain. Of course any amount of flexing is not good. It has be designed and calculated properly. Many helmet manufacturers use flexing shells to better absorb impacts. However flexing also has downsides like extremely high impacts (almost unrealistic in any crash) cant be handled as well. Some helmet materials are designed to break in a particular manner if they are in a situation that force is too high. It is better if not break, but if it has to break then atleast break in such a way to disperse more impact. Eg fibreglass shells. Atleast this is what I understand after seeing helmet reviews.

[@emmanuelpraveen1]

@@TigerKoul high impact i said.. not break easily.. Roadside helmets either break very easily or hardly break at all.. both are bad...

[@emmanuelpraveen1]

Best explanation I found online What is impact? A 'force'. It displaces our head. So that is energy. And without a helmet, this energy is absorbed by our head. And it is distributed in many ways. On motion, it is converted to kinetic energy and lost through friction and broken bonds in our neck muscles. Remaining is just absorbed by the head alone. First, the skull takes a part of it. How? By breaking bonds in itself. This may crack your skull. Second, by transferring vibration to the cerebral fluid. Now the cerebral fluid, like any damper, in motorcycles, forms eddies and dissipates energy through damping. This creates a shock on our brain, and we lose balance. Now, for all this to happen, we need a helmet that can absorb this energy or at least significant parts of it. So, let's assume that it does absorb energy. How? Well, since energy is always conserved, it should be dissipated in some way. First, the hard shell. The shell absorbs energy and transfers it to the intermolecular bonds. After this transfer, many of the bonds break and dissipates the energy. Rest of the energy is transferred inside. There is a foam layer, which acts as a sponge/spring with damper. This absorbs energy and starts vibrating, while damping it. This damping effect dissipates the energy. That's why you hear a ringing sound when you knock on a helmet. It absorbs the energy and transfers it throughout. It does this so that the helmet doesn't form a weak spot. Now suppose your helmet doesn't break at all. Who takes all the energy? You. Then you die. Or seriously injured. Thus, if the helmet does break at substantial impacts, maybe okay. But, it should not break at lower impacts, because that can mean it absorbs only a less amount of energy. The rest is transferred, again, to the head.

[@redtarantula123]

I agree with this. A good helmet should absorb the impact, if it breaks, it means the helmet has absorbed the impact and most of the energy has gone into breaking the helmet which means less of the energy is transferred to the head / neck or body. A solid helmet would not break, but it might result in you having a broken neck

The helmet should break. Also this test should have been done with impact indicating stickers inside the helmets. A durable helmet may just transfer the impact to the riders head and cause fetal injuries ( the way the second helmet was deforming on impact). On the other hand if a helmet breaks dissipating the impact and not transferring the force to the head it is much better.

[@TigerKoul]

Agreed whatever resources had used them And it's EPS which will dissipate the force and shell should remain intact again depends on the force and impact Correctly pointed out that second helmet was Vega Bolt which flexed a lot hence not safe

[@kannadiga3644]

That is true..

[@sandeepssganguly]

@Tiger Koul thanks for validating that. I'll take my example when I was younger though a durable helmet is better. 15 years and 2 crashes later I have come to know that a helmet / safety gear is a consumable and should not be categorised under durable goods. These items have a defined end of life which many youngsters don't realise. It will be great to discuss various safety standards some day.

[@leonbarua7712]

People thinking that the helmets which didnt crack are stronger.....remember that safer cars also crumple when they crash so the force is absorbed by the car body. In this case, the helmet should absorb the force hence breaking it. If the helmet stays stiff or bounces back, all of the force goes to our head which may not cause skull fracture but it will surely slosh ur brain around and may cause a concussion or internal bleeding which is far more serious. That's why some cheaper cars have been seen crashing into expensive cars and not breaking, the unsafe car will stay intact and dissipate the force onto the passengers..

[@TimelyTurtle]

That car part argument is all nonsense. According to you, Maruti Suzuki is safer than Volvo 😭. There's a difference between crumpling and absorbing the force to keep people safe inside. Only the bonnet and front of the cars are designed to absorb the force in accidents.

[@leonbarua7712]

@TimelyTurtle so you're telling me accidental impacts only happen in the front of the car? So the rest of the car should be completely rigid, transferring all the force to the passengers? Also, I didn't mention Indian Maruti suzuki cars anywhere, as you see. The crumple zone argument was given as a comparison to things absorbing force and getting destroyed in the process.

IF YOU CAN AFFORD ARAI helmet. Test this hammer on it. It will break in first hit itself.

[@vishnusimba6136]

That hammer is exerting a force much greater than the helmets designed impact limit per square cm area. Actual practice requires the helmet to be dropped with a ballast weight, not the other way round. Relative motion yes, but area of impact matters during testing. In reality, the impact area is much wider compared to the hammer impact zone. Anybody can use the sharp side of an object and inflict penetration into the shell, but not every road has sharp edges. I can say the helmets can survive, but I do not know about the skull of the rider wearing it. Ultimately If the EPS liner can't handle it, you dead bruh.

The idea of a helmet is not just not to crack. That I’d say is the BARE minimum thing it is supposed to do for it to even be considered a helmet. What truly matters is how much energy it absorbs and how well it disperses or dissipates it, hence why HJC and likes are considered some of the best because the shell shatters upon impact dissipating the impact energy. Also why, these helmet shouldn’t ever be made to fall on the ground even, which could reduce their impact taking ability.

I appreciate your efforts for a physical demonstration of impact on these helmets. The primary purpose of a helmet is to absorb the impact by itself & not by the head inside it.

Vega bolt bunny 3 shots ke baad bhi badhiya hai sirf 1900 me

[@junaidbhat8503]

vega is good but the thing that concerned me was the way it squished in the slowmo as compared to MT that kept its shape so i will say going for mt is good choice 👍🏻

[@TigerKoul]

Correct the flex should not happen at all That’s not good

[@francodsouza4637]

Man!! Searched for a video like this 3 yrs ago.. Unfortunately seems I was misled into buying the SMK :( thanks a million for this video. Hats off for this contribution and God bless!! Some brands should definitely watch this and feel ashamed of their so called certifications!

[@allanak6670]

Thanks bro. I thought of buying SMK Titan series helmet. But after seeing your video, I am utterly disappointed with SMK and have changed my mind. Have never bought MT helmets before but now it's definitely worth giving it a try :) Bgv and Arai are on my next list of helmets, but they are very expensive so got to have patience and wait for that one fine day. Cheers and Thanks :))

[@zeeshanafsar]

I order to save your head the helmet should break. If it's not breaking it means it's transferring the impact to your head.

[@doderehainary8944]

Currently I am using STUDDS THUNDER SINCE LAST TWO YEARS AND SMK GLIDE FROM TWO WEEKS NOW I AM DISAPPOINTED

[@ebin2868]

Helmet breaking absorbs a lot of the impact. Cheap Vega helmet saved me once when a coconut fell on my head, the impact cracked the helmet and I blacked out for 1-2 sec but luckily regained consciousness before I crashed. If that helmet didn't crack then the entire impact would have been transferred to my head and neck. You can see from the slow motion replays those first 2 Vegas are not absorbing much impact, they simply transfer the energy down.

[@ferdous_khalifa]

After watching this video, I think the Vega Bolt is the best choice considering the price point. I have just purchased the Vega Bolt helmet. Your video was a great help narrowing down my choice. Thank you very much, guys.

[@milaanpatel4997]

Helmet are intentionally designed to break/deform. The crumble zone absorbs and distributes impact over larger area. They are designed to work for single impact. Vega seems stronger but will transfer force to your head. See the deformation in slow mo, helmet doesn't break but you head inside will definitely.

[@ferdous_khalifa]

@@milaanpatel4997 Strongly disagree with your comment, Helmets are designed to protect the head from impact and absorb the force of a collision. They are engineered to withstand multiple impacts and not just single impact. The materials used in helmets, such as polystyrene, are specifically chosen for their ability to absorb and distribute impact energy. The "crumble zone" or "crush zone" of a helmet may deform, it should not break or compromise the structural integrity of the helmet. All certified helmets Including Vega (DOT certified) they are rigorously tested and must meet safety standards before they are available to consumers.

[@Sherlawk]

@@ferdous_khalifa so you will give your helmet a second try.

[@ferdous_khalifa]

@@Sherlawk Of course not, But also it would depend on the hit it took and how much it deform. In general, It would be a good idea to replace it as soon as possible.

[@ferdous_khalifa]

​@Reveñant Yes, I agree with you, but not to the extent that they are rendered ineffective, especially since they are laboratory certified. A good helmet should be strong enough to absorb a big hit and protect us, allowing us to return home safely.

[@milaanpatel4997]

Helmet are intentionally designed to break/deform. The crumble zone absorbs and distributes impact over larger area. They are designed to work once. Vega seems stronger but will transfer force to your head (see the deformation)

Bhai india me trending ho rha hai ye steelbird air sba 20 Hemet ka test kro please 😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏

[@mcr0741]

Great test, really appreciated. I know it may not seem so but this was a really expensive test and cannot be performed again and again, so thank you for taking the effort, for our safety! ❤️👍🏻 But I guess the test had too many variables like force of impact, position of impact, material of helmets, their flexibility, and the helmets squishing and sliding to absorb the impact. It would have been nice if you had placed a melon or something inside the helmets to see the results of impact. Although I know it may not be possible to try this again but, try contacting a few helmet manufacturers to send you their products for further tests. Thanks again! 👍🏻😇

[@ramasadhukhan522]

After this video I believe that going for Vega bunny is the best option compared to MT (especially when you compare the prices) , since the advisory says to change the helmets after 1 impact and Vega survived 3 without much damage to the outer shell. Thanks for the video!

[@sandypan777]

If you notice, bunny is elastic. Ut deformed and then restored form. This can mean it will transfer more damage to your head internally. Go for a higher level.

[@vicious99]

You won't need another helmet after crash with bolt bunny coz your head will turn to jelly lol

[@tej1337]

​@@sandypan777 exactly what people MUST understand.

[@joydutta606]

Even if the outer shell is intact, the eps lining is destroyed so its impact absorption has decreased. So its recommended to change

[@seau0]

Vega got bent but did not crack. Because it bent that much your head would also take hit badly. So it is not safe at all. Only MT looked solid.

[@googatuba]

Guys after an accident with Impacts like this, it would be best to replace the helmet as the structure of the helmet would have weakened during the impact with micro cracks that may not be visible to the naked eye. So in case of second impact the results would be drastic. Take care, Ride safe. EDIT. Just realized that Tiger Koul had mentioned this towards the end . Good stuff!

[@GaurendraNath]

It was wonderful way to test, I have a suggestion (if feasible) if you can start including link of those items used in videos it would be really helpful. Thanks for making this video, it will help many people.

[@gagan.aachar]

It's not a proper way to measure the quality of the helmet. In the matter of "studds" the hit spot was on the front side 😅. Instead the helmets would have made them fall from a height.

[@YogendraKuchipudi]

These guys have zero knowledge on how helmets are constructed and how they take impact. Helmet is supposed to break and spread the impact so head doesnt get affected. Please do your research before making a video.

[@TigerKoul]

Crack and spread brother This is what is being showcased in the video in with no knowledge Breaking and shattering of helmet means it was not at all protective Pls do your research first then comment on others work and knowledge

[@naveenrathore6575]

Bunny is best

[@karankots]

Let's explore through an engineering standpoint. What is impact? A 'force'. It displaces our head. So that is energy. And without a helmet, this energy is absorbed by our head. And it is distributed in many ways. On motion, it is converted to kinetic energy and lost through friction and broken bonds in our neck muscles. Remaining is just absorbed by the head alone. First, the skull takes a part of it. How? By breaking bonds in itself. This may crack your skull. Second, by transferring vibration to the cerebral fluid. Now the cerebral fluid, like any damper, in motorcycles, forms eddies and dissipates energy through damping. This creates a shock on our brain, and we lose balance. Now, for all this to happen, we need a helmet that can absorb this energy or at least significant parts of it. So, let's assume that it does absorb energy. How? Well, since energy is always conserved, it should be dissipated in some way. First, the hard shell. The shell absorbs energy and transfers it to the intermolecular bonds. After this transfer, many of the bonds break and dissipates the energy. Rest of the energy is transferred inside. There is a foam layer, which acts as a sponge/spring with damper. This absorbs energy and starts vibrating, while damping it. This damping effect dissipates the energy. That's why you hear a ringing sound when you knock on a helmet. It absorbs the energy and transfers it throughout. It does this so that the helmet doesn't form a weak spot. Now suppose your helmet doesn't break at all. Who takes all the energy? You. Then you die. Or seriously injured. Thus, if the helmet does break at substantial impacts, maybe okay. But, it should not break at lower impacts, because that can mean it absorbs only a less amount of energy. The rest is transferred, again, to the head. (To sum it all up SMK did a great job and the rest didn't because your head will crack open if your helmet doesn't.)

[@TigerKoul]

Wohooo that's a lot ... In simple words shell dissipates the energy throught out and the rest which get through is being absorbed by the EPS which is between the shell and head of a rider ... Shells breaking easy are not withstanding and HENCE shell made of HIRP stood out in case of MT Hummer and rest you know it
