Are these cunts not aware that Simoncelli's safety hat came off coz it wasn't done up properly?

The GP Tech has been around in Simoncelli colours since he was still alive, it's not a new product, you can also get it in various Rossi Schemes.

Also, where is there any suggestion that it came off due to not been fastened? Especially when it was clear that the strap had snapped.

The snapping of the strap was what was supposed to happen in extreme stresses to protect the neck, the strap is weaker than the neck. Additionally Simoncelli did not die from his head injuries, but internal bleeding in torso (can't remember where exactly).

Would you like to make a different point?

Haw Cunty...

Where are you getting your results of the fatal accident inquiry from? Post a link or STFU.

At the time of the accident last year. "Medical Director Michele Macchiagodena said that Simoncelli sustained "a very serious trauma to the head, to the neck and the chest" and died of his injures."

With such a mop of hair to protect it's astonishing to believe he could get his head into a 'normal' helmet let alone do it up properly.

I don't know of any stats or evidence of strap failure on 'approved' helmets.

Post the link for that too if you can find it.

And I don't sell the fucking helmets you cantankerous prick I only post this shite.

If you can properly read you will see 'the ad claims' new technology. Not Walloper.

So fuck the fuck off and don't anoy me.


Any point/s I never covered there??

Helmets can and do come off even with the chin strap done up. Can't find where I originally heard this but managed to dig it up via google as I remembered the (somewhat striking) statistics...

Quote:
A European based motorcycle crash study investigated 90 crashes where it found that in 11 cases (12 per cent), the helmets had come off during the crash. In another earlier study, the same author found that 10 per cent of the cases, the helmets were lost during the crash and in half those cases, the chin strap showed signs of being deformed, disrupted or damaged in some other way and concluded that these helmets were lost due to loading of the chin strap.

In their 2009 report, the European based Motorcycle Accidents in Depth Study (MAIDS) investigated more than 900 crashes in European countries where it has found:

9.1 per cent of the crashes involved helmets coming off the wearer's head at some time during the accident.
Of these 9.1 per cent of crashes, there were 58 cases in which the reported ejection was because the rider had failed to fasten the chin-strap or had removed it.
