Helmet Safety

Soon I'll be putting up an interview with Chris Smith from Lazer Sport, which will also contain information from MIPS and, I hope, POC Helmets. Here is a series of videos from MIPS that, I hope, will start you thinking more about this. MIPS is attempting to promote discussion and revision of helmet testing standards, improved protection and use of new technology by the helmet manufacturing industry. 1. 2. 3. This one has a point to make, but it pisses me off that these manufacturers seem to be saying that only people willing to shell out for ultra-high end helmets deserve to have the safest helmets possible. If you're poor, if you have a very limited income, "fuck you we don't care about you". 4. In this video a theme is repeated from one of the earlier vids: "People are stupid and choose styling over safety almost 100% of the time". This theme is also echoed in my interview with Chris. 5. And here is the link for the MIPS blog. They invite you not only to read, but to participate and comment.
