Beyond the Snell certification, how is the consumer to know which helmets are safer than others?

My choice in helmets may be heavier than others, but they are comfortable and do an excellent job sealing out the wind. I've worn at least one much more expensive 'racing exclusive' brand helmet in my dragster, and it let much more wind through the shield leaving me squinting and feeling less safe.
