SaekyHi everyone, is this comp great? There are two organizations setting safety standards for motorcycle helmets in the United States, the Federal Government’s Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Snell Memorial Foundation. DOT sets minimum standards that all helmets sold for motorcycling on public streets must meet. The standard is Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218 (FMVSS 218) and is known commonly as the DOT standard. The Snell Memorial Foundation is a private not-for-profit organization that sets voluntary standards for motorcycle helmets, bicycle helmets and auto racing helmets, as well as other kinds of protective headgear. Snell standards are the world’s toughest. We demand quite a bit more protective capability in helmets than anybody else on the planet. InformationFriends |
