Bike Helmet Ratings
Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings - Bike helmets have been tested to evaluate their ability to reduce brain injury risk.
That's true, but even at low speeds, the thing I'm concerned about is a 4,000 lb auto hitting me at it's high velocity. In my motorcycle days, a good Snell approved helmet helped me in an auto/motorcycle collision, but helmets aren't always going to save you. Interesting statistic, in every state in the US that lowered their speed limits on the highways years ago, auto fatalities went up. In every state that enacted mandatory helmets for motorcyclists, their motorcycle fatalities went up. Not sure what this means, but have my own thoughts on it. I don't trust any of the conventional bike helmets because they offer little real protection, especially at the back where the spinal cord injuries would occur.
Wavecel Specter by Bontrager. I actually just crashed with it a couple weeks ago and a) there was zero damage to my head and b) Trek replaced the helmet for free thanks to it's 1 year crash guarantee. I had a previous crash two years before with a Specialized Echelon, a poorly rated helmet for safety, and if I did not get a concussion from the crash, I was certainly dazed and faint after, though the crash was much more head impact heavy. I trust the ratings.
How are the stop light and the turn signals activated in that helmet?
