i dont really care, but figured id pass it on
from 2009
cliffs: helmet manufacturers pay snell 60 cents to put a label on their helmets, then sell the helmets for up to 100$ more
Sure, each sticker is $0.60, but engineering things to meet specific standards is expensive.
well you should read that whole article and you’d see that their “standards” may cause more injury than they prevent. Good read and it certainly opens a whole can for standards…
That’s a way too much for me to read right now.
Are there facts to backup the claims? Or just manipulations?
Keeping in mind this is in the bike forum, and is only related to M rated helmets, not SA… for those of you browsing.
oh for sure. It was a good read though. They do make some great points and back things up with data.
it is a long ass read, i read it before bed, made me tired
proud owner of snell products my entire life.
Currently have an sa2005. There is a reason the JUNK that bikers ride with isnt approved for real racing and snell is.
