Done.

Feedback in terms of things I would buy in a helmet.........for road race/track style stuff with other competitors and a possible over the bars situation.......an old school football helmet chin bar would keep your face from becoming hamburger.

I had a crash in a road race sprint. The mips helmet did its task for the skull, but the face was hamburger.

I saw a startup working on something, but never saw availability.

I would say not needed for individual things like TT, individual pursuit, triathlon. But I would welcome it for road race, track sprint, weeknight worlds, etc...

I bet the weight/structure needed to make that work is prohibitive. But I'd still buy it.

Shoot, if it was cold weather I'd consider wearing a Keirin suit for crit racing.

For the question regarding reasons for deciding on a certain helmet, I think cost/price should be included as one of the options.

Thanks for the feedback! That was an oversight, have added cost as an option now.

Done.


Regarding the questions on seeking medical attention post-crash, it depends more on my condition (headache, blurred vision, impacted equilibrium, etc.) than specifically on what happened to the helmet.

Entered.

Only thing to add - I entered what is currently my main cycling activity (by miles / hrs) which is plain road biking. As there could be only 1 choice.
But I'm someone who does other stuff (mountain biking) and of course Tri. I'd estimate my split is about

- 45% road rides (non competitive/ training rides, of which 4/5 will be road bike and 1/5 TT/tri bike, simply due to the nature of roads where I live)
- 35% mountain biking
- 15% commuting
- 5% riding during actual triathlons or occasional short TT

And so I will flip between 2 or 3 helmets depending on what doing (+ a 4th helmet of a full face DH helmet when mountain biking in the Alps)

I have exactly this same perspective. Condition of the helmet might be among the factors to consider, but certainly not the most important factor. Any damage to the helmet represents damage that did NOT happen to the inhabitant.

Hi Jack,

Completed the survey.

A comment from me; on question 16 (three main reasons for choosing a particular helmet) my feedback is that it depends on which helmet. For example, my priorities when choosing a helmet for general road riding are very different than when I'm choosing my race helmet for non-draft racing. For racing, it is all about aero. For general road riding I couldn't give a hoot about aerodynamics.

It might be useful to offer separate answers for different categories or state which case you are interested in.

All the best with the study.

Cheers, Rich.

Done!

agreed- I answered neutral on the seeking medical attention, since it would depend on factors not mentioned in the poll..

Good catch I filled out the survey after you and chose cost as my primary factor as a cheap bastard. Besides which I feel the CPSC 1203 certification makes all helmets relatively equal.
