Einstein would be proud of my Insanity...
Is this really how hats are tested? On a head which isn't attached to a body? Can someone explain to me how that makes any sense at all?
The bit that concerns me in the video is that they only seem to test a direct hit on the crown of the helmet. It's not often you fall right on the top of your head....
This is the main reason why I can't understand people buying hats tested only to the lowest standard. PAS015 only tests for a low level crush and a simple fall against a smooth edged surface. Neither being mechanisms which actually occur that often in a fall from a horse. Especially not a speed. SNELL at least includes a horseshoe anvil (to simulate a kick) and a rough edged hemispherical anvil to replicate a fence or tree as well as higher forces for the straight forward drop and crush.
You only have one head! (Unless you a a hat testing forma...)
