In the event that a 4000# 145 mph car goes THROUGH my Turismo, I don't think I stand a chance no matter what I'm wearing. But that's a different topic.

Bones and muscles recover, usually. Brains seldom do. I'd rather be "too safe" than "not safe enough." As the car is flipping, it is too late to pay the extra for a better helmet. . .

so, Phillip, is this poll going the way you expected?

Yes actually, I am a little suprised by the number of people using SA rated open face helmets though.
