Anyway i'll put my life on Mr arai rather than a pew pew lazer helmet.

manufacturers make racers wear the helmets, to show us what they can do when they crash, this is what all these fancy motorsport racing is all about, wether is yamaha, ducati, honda etc etc, i have never seen any racer wear a pew pew lazer helmet, so no way i'll put my trust on them.

you may well believe we dont wear the same helmet as the racers, even if this is the case, the manufacturer can show that they have the technology to produce such a helmet and will eventually filter down to us, same as traction control developed in racing.

same with the motorcycle we may well not have a motogp machine, but it shows what the manufacter is capable of.

we cant just believe everything we read, sometimes ppl get it wrong or tell a lie.
the test may well be correct for their testing method, but remember different sort of test can always produce different result, just like motorcycle review, you can test the bike at a twisty circuit or test it on a straight line, a hayabusa will destroy an R6 in straight line, but an R6 will destroy the hayabusa in the twisty.
