I might be me but i wouldn't feel safe in this helmet. Is it because of its unique design or the lack of a chin strip?. Many people asked me the same when i owned a BMW golfball helmet with its flip front. Not even sure they would pass the EU test but they have a DOT rating
What's your feeling about this helmet?
Would you feel safe?

Re: Would you feel safe?
Saw something like this a few years back, was very expensive for what was being offered. Premium rate prices and apart frm the novelty clam shell opening a very basic helmet cant remember the name of the company though.
Re: Would you feel safe?
The concept seems to be good.
I think, because it's an unknown, being wary is a natural reaction. It would be interesting to know what safety standards it can meet.
I imagine it would be a great asset to 1st aiders in the event of an accident.

Re: Would you feel safe?
In the states, the Rrp is £270.95, and yes i does look like a very basic lid. I expect you would have to visit a shop to get the correct size.
What would happen if the latches break? How the hell would you get it off.

No, I wouldn't. I'll stick to my traditional type helmets.

Re: Would you feel safe?
I like the concept. I would like to see some test data. Just from the video, I would think that it is safer than my NeoTek II.
From the other side; I would hate to admit how many times I have removed my helmet only to find that I was wearing a strapless helmet
