Major snipping...
Recall, the Snell Memorial Foundation was established by the Snell
family
after the loss of a member of the family in a car racing accident, when
a
helmet failed. In other words, they have roots in racing, and that's
still reflected in their general orientation. Yes, yes, I know, most of
these motorcycle helmets get exclusive street use, but they have a bit
of
a "racing" orientation. Race in a half helmet? Race with a flip-up
front? Not likely. But other than cars, no one would race with a 3/4
helmet either, and very few would even do it there at this point.
Just ask the Earnhardt family. Dale was the only guy left with an open
face helmet in Nascar Winston Cup...other than his son.
