helmet strength ?

[Val]

I have to say you are doing it all wrong, you need to get a camera and be on the bike whilst testing the helmet 

Like this:

So that just leaves the is16, a tough flexable cookie, no cracks on the outside of this one yet which is reassuring as I now have the later FG15 

the main difference ive noticed in these tests is the flexabilty in the outer hard shell of the is16, the newest lid at only 3 years old, the two older lids were easy to break from the side and front but this could be down to age.


Got to finish this test and the is16....but how......its over to you foccers...........................name the test   

Get Exupnut to wear it and crash into a wall or lend it to Christo, I'm sure he'll find a convoluted way to test it

As has already been said, drop that safe on it.... you never know it might open and we might find out the contents!

Grinder to replicate sliding down the road.

Yep.....think its got to be an abrasive test, a woodworker by trade so I have access to a good range of machinery, in particular a "open drum sander" 60 grit paper is the roughest I have but should be good enough, a timed test parhaps starting at 3 or 4 seconds .......will post piccies of said machine.....

Doing this so you dont have to mr willy   ....better than being  a couch potato watching the box...............
