Icon Statistic Helmet

I'd bet that this helmet would get a lot of questions and comments from other riders.

The helmet's numbers are from the Head Injury Mechanisms in Helmet-Protected Motorcyclists: Prospective Multicenter Study. I've read about the study before, but never read the actual study. A couple of interesting points from it - 11% of crash victims lose their helmets during the crash, and they recommended avoiding heavy helmets - they suggested anything more than 3lbs 5oz (1,500g) had an increased risk of basal skull fractures for some types of impacts.

Interesting part is... the chin area = about 30~% of where the helmet hits

I'll stick with a full face because of that.

Definitely a conversation piece

They'd probably sell more if part of the proceeds went to benefit a charity that educates riders on helmet use, or a brain injury research fund or something. Definitely unique, though.

The MSF class I took years ago had an old helmet marked up like that. Permanently turned me against modular and open face helmets.

And, the one time I've gone down on the street, my helmet was all beat up right in that 15.2% area....

Rob's helmet from his crash a couple years ago (this is enough for me to always wear a full-face):

They should paint a beanie helmet and stats onto the full face helmet.
