You have clearly never ridden a motorcycle. I'd advise watching some crash videos before talking about this subject.
The forces involved are incredible, even at fairly low speeds.
Asking for data for something so well supported is simply lazy.
Go google "Snell tests" to get an idea of what properly designed helmets should protect against.
- monocasa 5y agoI have ridden a motorcycle, and know about the forces involved very well. And the Snell Tests don't say anything about if Sikh turbans will come off at what speeds. Asking for data is a way to counteract "everyone knows this, it's just common sense" drivel that isn't actually true.
- imwillofficial 5y agoJust because something hasn't been measured, doesn't make a conclusion based on logical reasoning drivel. "Well how do you know that I'll die if I jump off the Empire State Building?! You've never seen ME jump off the Empire State building!" I'd say that seeing how much of a beating full-face helmets take when they hit the ground hard, it's a pretty logical leap to assume that anything less than that is going to suffer a worse fate. Unless wrapping it in 10 feet of hair confers some magic physics defying powers. Asking for data when there obviously is none, and then ignoring logical inference is poor form.

- atatatat 5y ago> And the Snell Tests don't say anything about if Sikh turbans will come off at what speeds. Yes, they do: If they tear a person's head clean off with their helmet, they'll also tear a scalp and hair out. Sanctity for religion is cool, until you start doing mental gymnastics away from the proof in the pudding.
