The Importance of Real Helmets

Produced by the Motorcycle Industry Council, this 6-minute video delves into the science behind motorcycle helmets, with special emphasis on the real-world differences between DOT-compliant and novelty helmets. A highlight of the video is a fascinating slow-motion scene of a helmet impact test (filmed at 1,000 frames per second) conducted at Collision and Injury Dynamics, Inc., showing how a quality helmet absorbs and dissipates crash forces.
