Interesting topic this as my daughter got involved with a guy who had
apparently designed a helmet that cooled the head in the event of use. This
helps the brain to minimise brain damage due to swelling post accident (R
Hammond).
I went to a meeting with him to see if our compnay could help (toolmakers)
but was soon put off as the guy was after grants and freebees, in short this
helmet would never be made and if it were it would certainly be made in
China despite what he said.
However prior to the meeting I did some research and was totally surprised
to find that in most accidents a cheap polycarbonate helmet would outperform
a kevlar or GRP one because if the helmet is too strong your head takes the
shock but most accidents involve scrapping along the road! so it is
extremely difficult to make a perfect helmet.
It gets very involved but was interesting.
The guy himself had been involved in a huge mobile phone swindle in USA
(using another name)and had done time for threatening witnesses! so just to
meet him was an education. I let him know that I had found out and he
emailed back saying I was brave!
After this we met at our factory (my boss would not accept what I had told
him) and the swindler held a helmet while I cut it in two with a hand
grinder and thin blade, I looked at him and said "you're brave", he smiled
but like all good con men he was difficult not to like.
Needless to say I cannot name names.........cos I am not brave!
Cheers Jon

Go the whole hog Alex!
I like the look of the Carbon Arai GP6. A snip at £3390 :O

Hello everyone who replied to my post.
Thanks for the input. I was looking at the MSA, SA2010 approved
helmets so I could go on any tracks unrestricted (I checked,
silverstone does require MSA...) and don't live too far from
silverstone, therefore planning on doing a couple of day up there this
year. Thanks Jon regarding Hedtec feedback. Will look into them and
I will let the forum know on my purchase and my experience with the
helmet.
Alex
