Nice idea, but I'd like to know what the torsional forces are that are transmitted onto the neck.

In their video it shows that an oblique strike to the helmet induces a rotational /counter-rotational oscillation.
Is all that energy absorbed by the shock absorbers, or does some of it get transmitted down the spinal column, onto the neck (and maybe further)....?

Saw the cost and instantly thought..fuckin rip off

Why have the POS greedy bastards got to put such a high price on something that could save lives.. Especially youngsters lives ( those being the most likely to benenfit as the most likely to crash )

I really hope someone in China takes it on board, makes a minute change and rings the idea to the masses not just the rich
I am all for making money, but even I draw the line at profiteering at the expense of lives...

Then again, it might not be as good as they are claiming. Either way, fuck 'em the greedy shits

R&D doesn't come cheap.

That is partly why stuff from China is cheap - they copy products where someone else has undertaken the r&d.
