“So you are saying that it’s all about the strap causing a neck injury and not about the helmet”
Nope. Never said that. But, I hate to break the news to you…but there are situations for what a BIKE helmet is designed for and there are many situations (riding a bike) in which it is NOT designed for. Lil Jonny going to the local 7-11 on the sidewalk would be a good example of what the standard is based upon. Getting hit by a car going 40mph, siding on your head at 45mph down Loveland pass or hitting a tree at 30mph, it’s not. Those situations are better suited for a motorcyles or NASCAR helmet. There is a reason why they are round.
I’m not sure where you were racing 20 years ago, but if you actually were…you would probably remember the old styrofoam helmets causing MORE INJURIES than they pretended (because they wouldn’t slide on the pavement, thus neck injuries). Other helmet in that era has the same problem.
