Sure is ... there's no way that people who have worn Arai for years and have shelled-out up to £500+ because they want to have (and want to be seen to have) the 'best' are going to pay much attention to a scientific test that challenges their values and beliefs.

What will these people do however when Arai inevitably redesign their helmets to get better SHARP scores? Will they abandon them as pandering to a 'flawed' test? I doubt it!

I'm not blaming them of course - I'll probably be exactly the same if SHARP only gives three stars to the Shoeis that I use
