Any one that makes the public more aware of the dangers of cycling without a helmet should be congratulated. The helmet is designed to help protect the brain.Judging by the comments on this page it would seem to be completely pointless for most of you to bother to wear one.

No info on which helmets are safest. Lots of info on comfort. Misleading title. He claims that all helmets are saftest because they meet a minimum standard. Silly.

@cookiepwnsU Dude you don't realize how quickly you can have a life-threatening accident on a bike. It happens so fast you wont even know what hit you. Don't wait until you have an accident to start using a helment. Just search the web for bike accident stories and you'll see that the consequences can be really serious. Bike helmets can be a bit of a feel-good thing that gives you a stronger sense of security that might not really be there. But there's no doubt that helmets have saved lives.

moped helmets are good

not all helmets offer the same level of protection, and your chin strap is way too loose. Fit is sooooo much more important than the helmet itself.

Awful awful video.

@rmwerbin According to youtube.com/watch?v=zyIucLcCKK­c&feature=related all helmets are practically the same safeness.

@cookiepwnsU Maybe some careless driver doesn't see you and crashes into you while your cycling and you whack your head off the windshield of the car, better it be a helmet than your noggin!
