Doesn't the Helmet meet the same NHRA mandated legal requirement, regardless of the price paid for it?

This site is getting old with all of the negative posting. All of you negative posters should go back and re-read what you post.

Pathetic!

A smart car and an SL 600 benz pass the same safety standards.........which one would you rather have a serious crash in?

Re: M2000 helmets R I P
 

I feel that is an unfair comparison. If the same helmet costs $189 at one location or $29 at another, which one would YOU pick.

You are just being argumentative.

Re: M2000 helmets R I P
 

I had an M2000 full face on when I had my accident. Wish I had an SA that hangs down a little further. Might not have a jaw full of titanium plates and screws. BTW I have the helmet still and you wouldnt know it was in an accident if I didnt tell you.

Re: M2000 helmets R I P
 

Now you're being obtuse. The same helmet that is $189 is NOT available for $29 at another location.

Re: M2000 helmets R I P
 

As was your comparison of a Mercedes to a Smart Car.

I'm done with this.....

Re: M2000 helmets R I P
 

Actually the helmet was $10.50, I included the shipping to come up with the total. The SFI sticker is the same on mine as a $189 helmet though and if it's good enough for a 150mph crash on a street bike it's good enough for me.
I guess I'm a dumbass for buying a 189 dollar helmet for 10 bucks.

Ken, I in no way want to diminish your accident. I hope we have all learned from your experience. I take a closer look at the retention device on the master cylinder rods in my cars now, Your accident is the reason I bought full face helmets this year.

Kiss my butt Chad.

There's a reason you got it for $10........

Re: M2000 helmets R I P
 

i've bought a few motorcycle helmets and 1 brand actually had a sheet of paper that said they were only good for 5 years...
only time i ever seen that....
yes, i know there's a difference in how m/c and car helmets are tested...

Re: M2000 helmets R I P
 

this I'm smarter than the sanctioning body, SFI and everyone else is a fool's mentality and your lack of respect for your oponent's and spectator's safety as well yourself, is exactly why we have "stupid rule makers"

Safety equipment is like insurance...you don't know how good it is until you need it and when you do, you hope it's the best, if not, it's going to cost you and in this case, it could be your or your wife's life.
