Comprehensive testing as in actual testing.
This is cool. I’d love to see more iterations on helmet design, and mass adoption through cheap 3D printing is a huge appeal.
Yeah, considering my bike helmet was like $100 when I bought it…safe cheap options would be nice
$100 is worth protecting your skull IMO, but my last helmet was 3x that much (though it did save me from probable death).
That said, I wouldn’t be upset if they came up with helmets that are cheap and just as effective.
For sure! That’s why I spent that much lol. My motorcycle helmet was $300, well worth it to save my life.
I personally just try to avoid activities that that would threaten my head to the point I need to wear a helmet…
We’re on the micromobility community. Not a whole lot of micromobility you can safely engage in without some head protection
I walk, take transit. Honestly bikes scare the shit out of me.
Fair enough, they can be dangerous especially in some places.
Shit happens, and if you are riding anything with wheels, you should definitely be wearing a helmet. I wasn’t doing anything extreme when I crashed, the bike (an ENGWE EP2 Pro) failed at about 20mph, sending me over the handle bars and to the hospital. Not much I could’ve done about it, the fender was faulty and poorly designed but no recall was issued.
