How did the Motorcycle helmets we have today evolve? Did you know that the Isle of Man TT pioneered the use of safety equipment? Why are there different types of helmets? - Авто та транспорт
fun fact, when your brain wiggles so does your ear 1:54
You know it’s a good video when it’s 5 minute info video but you feel like you just finished helmet college
Great video as always! Couple of things to consider.
1. Studies have shows that the material they make the helmet from can be beneficial in different impacts. For example the polycarbonate shells have more flex and do a better job at mitigating lower force impacts.
2. Rotational impacts are barely understood, but what the most up to date research is finding is they cause more harmful brain energies. DOT and Snell do not account for these. Only FIM and ECE 22.06 are starting to consider them into their testing criteria.
Even today in 2020 after all those years of helmet evolution and so many deaths of motorcycle riders I can't understand why people don't wear helmet.
Great job on this video Mike.
Safe Rides always with helmet and safety gear.
Because people see them as an expensive inconvenience, at least here where I live. Before I got my full motorcycle license I used to ride a 50cc scooter and even then I had an HJC TR-1 helmet which costed me about the half of what I paid for that scooter (bought the scooter used of course). I had few people ask me "why do you need a helmet, your dad is a cop, he can get you out of a ticket" and my answer to them was "what good is it to me to get out of a ticket if I break my head open on the road?".
For me it is so weird to start riding without helmet (or gloves) that I put my helmet on even for a 50-100m lap around my parking place when I just hop on to see if everything is as it should be after working on my bike
@@92Cuky_ just an fyi to anyone reading this, you don't need to spend 500 dollars on a helmet. it just has to pass ECE 22
Yes! I have been waiting for a video like this 🙌
7 seconds into the video and I'm already laughing
why??
Cool video, Mike, as always
Thanks for the awesome content Mike!! I spent a bunch of money and 2 new helmets last month so it's good to know my money went to a good place ;-)
"YEEEES"
*me every time a see, that new video is out !
❤
Hahaha the intro was really really good 😄😄.
Carbon fibre is much more rigid than glass fibre, and lighter. Both plastics (thermosetting polymers) benefit from their bonding resin, usually epoxy, being by and large chemically inert. The only real factor for it is ultraviolet light, which causes the resin to chemically decompose over time. That's why it is a good idea to store your helmet in a bag somewhere dark and ones with a nice coat of paint over the resin will probably last longer. I have a well over 20 years old open Shoei glass fibre helmet here that I am not at all afraid to still wear for slower speeds. The shock absorbing foam probably became stiffer over the years, but I have all faith in the shell still being as strong as on day one.
Thermoplastics like ABS and polycarbonate are very strong, although usually heavier. They emit softeners which has them ageing, they get more rigid and their strength decreases over time. Those plastics can be really good for helmets, they just don't last that long. Protecting them from UV light and storing them cool keeps them usable for longer as the softeners evaporate more slowly.
I ❤️ watching your videos. 😍
thnx for info dude
Something new too look for is the MIPS system. I believe alot of helmets will have MIPS or a similar system soon.
This guy has some serious knowledge about motorcycling . Love from India ❤️
I love your Content. Love From Pakistan
I wish there would be a video like that about motorcycles.
Mike!!!
Why is the spoiler removed on your AGV Pista? Did you have a fall on it?
It would be interesting to get your thoughts on helmet aerodynamics. Specifically with naked bikes like the Streetfighter.
Mike why are you mentioning Snell M2005 standards when it has been revised and improved dramatically since then up to the current M2020 standard? The newest Snell standard does use varying headform weights during impact testing. ECE is just about to release a 22-06 homolgation to correct some errors with their testing as well.
I agree no one system is perfect though.
My son asked, me which should I get the full face or the half? the full face is more expensive and I don't have a lot of money. My reply; How much do you value your face or your brain for that matter? save up and get the best you can afford...
Full face only imo, but i believe in free choice and self accountability. As far as best you can afford, there are lower priced helmets that offer the same protection as expensive Arai and Shoei ones, with less features and more weight. I get your point though, dont cheap out on your helmet, only buy from established brands with good ratings etc.
You forgot to mention the 1/4 or 1/8th helmet. I see people wearing them to bypass helmet requirement laws. It's like a dome shaped hockey Puck that people strap to their heads.
When did flip up helmets appeared?
Which is the highest certification in helmet safety??
Right now is the FIM certification.
I hope this channel notice me 👍
It’s a decent video with nice visuals. However, I disagree on the shell material. Polycarbonate is just as good as any other material for impact safety. My source is SHARP where you’ll see 5 star helmets with all shell types. Carbon fibre is just lighter than fiberglass or poly.
SHARP had the best test regime until the recently enacted ECE 22.06 because SHARP tested at 3 speeds and do a rotational test (friction test). ECE 22.06 takes the best of SHARP and adds rotational force tests. However, it’s still a pass/fail certification. SHARP will continue doing star ratings which buyers can relate to more.
SNELL used to be good but they’re out dated with their tests and don’t test rotational forces.
My helmet of choice is a Bell Race Star which got 5 stars on SHARP tests. It performs very well in all 3 impact speed tests and just so so for rotational management.
What AGV is that model helmet?
AGV Pista
what a point of buble visor?
Fashion/style
First helmet name
The only problem is there are very few helmets that are fit for elongated heads , i had to buy an helmet in a hurry for my driver lincence, (the ones at school where very small, most of them are round inside
I go to the Sharp site when I consider buying a helmet. If they don't give it a 'five star' rating I don't buy it. Most recently I bought a HJC helmet, the IS-17 (for $179.00 US), it performs as well as Shoei or Arai helmets costing 2 to 3 times as much.
MT Revenge GP 🙌🏻 5 Star Sharp rating...
ֆǟռɢɛɛȶɦ ɱƙ - 👍 Good deal.
The HJC IS-17 fits my head very well plus it has a drop down visor. You have to sift through the ratings but it's five star or nothing.
What do you think of Snell? Off the top of my head i think many motorsports on atv/mc require Snell helmets.
@@connor3288 The latest snell ratings are better than the old but you still should be looking for the latest numbers.
@@blipco5 You ever research helmet age/aging? My helmet is from 2015 but low hours, it was only used occasionly until i got street legal bike recently. I know the whole industry "every 5yrs" thing but have heard they can also be good for longer. I know its all about the foam.
Thoughts on 6D Helmet Tech? Anyone?
Love AGV
Iron head..!!!😄😄
i'm just gonna copy and paste this video whenever someone in Social media asks "what helmet do you guys recommend"
Can you give me the agv
No.
I wonder if those safety standards are applicable to the chinese-made cheap plastic helmets sold in my country.
Here, helmets are only worn to please the police.
Until someone close to you gets his head crushed in an accident
CHEAP O SH*T
No. Helmets don't look cool.
Helmets look stupid, but it's a sacrifice worth making.
Bit too fast, short and general overlook. I wish you would get a bit more detailed and deeper information on your videos.
Videos this length are fine in my opinion. The typical 10 minutes length video is supposedly for monetization purposes, which only motivates vloggers to add junk stuff to meet the mark. Further information can be investigated somewhere else.
@@omarsalgado9715 Yeah, videos that are long for the sake of making them over 10 min are boring but when there's an interesting topic with a good presenter, the video seems to abruptly end when it's just getting interesting. I'm not saying that Mike's videos are bad but they could expand a little bit on the topic.
