Yep, your head will crack open from a four foot drop at any speed. And how about a helmet where the strap is actually clipped and tightened?

- corobo 9y agoHope they don't play any kind of sports in that sports room they're testing in then!
- jrootabega 9y agoBikes are risky in that sense. Your legs and arms can't mitigate a fall like they usually do. And testing an experimental bike with a bunch of extra metal to find out how it fails? Even worse. Besides, the point of the experiment is to test the bike. There's nothing gained by not wearing a helmet. You're also implying that those other sports wouldn't be better with helmets, which may not be true.

The way to handle most falls if you can anticipate them is to jump straight up and off the bike. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcCGDr9f1L8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcCGDr9f1L8
