Looks good.
Wonder how much they will be when they hit the market?

so the extra cost generated by our adopting the SuperSkin® solution will not exceed around one hundred and fifty euros.

Notice how the cable's differ between the two tests. Not saying it will make a difference, but why is non super skin on a much shorter tether.

Why is there a sound clip muted when he says 60 something percent?
Hmmm sounds like shit to me.

67.5% says in the description.

Tether would make no difference, it isn't shorter anyway, it unfolds at the end.


Looks like a good idea, good to hear reviews of actual crashes and research by an independant company and SHARP

Looks interesting. The cynic in me says that Lazer would say it's amazing since they are developing it.

I got bored of the talking in the end. I can see how it could cut down on rotational force, but in their test they are forgetting that heads traditionally are attached to necks, so in a real crash your head wouldn't twist as much.

But why is it diffrent on the drop..... If they are both dropped at the same rate, in same conditions. Confused

How have they come to the result that the brain will not bleed, have they tested on real heads attached to real bodies. The bleeding is a result of the helmet lining rotating against the head.

Yes if the outside can slide over the surface it hits, it will help stop the rotating force, but a bigger factor in stopping this force is the neck, which attaches head to body.

A far better soluition would be to ensure that the helmet cannot rotate against the head inside by ensuring it is allways a 100% good fit..
Air bag inside perhaps Idea
