Why re invent the wheel?
With you on this one - WHY ? - Because some "wheels" are CHEAPER than others - but you wouldn't fit a ( cheap ) motorbike wheel on your undercarriage - would you
To pull in a few recent quotes :
It's in your best interest to wear a helmet, no question.
Doesn't seem to be much of an argument against that statement,
even if you're not REQUIRED to wear one.
An airplane helmet is designed differently to that of a helicopter helmet based upon the "typical" impact of each type.
... And a motorcycle helmet will also be designed to protect a motorcyclist against the typical impact from falling / being knocked off their bike and hitting / skidding along the tarmac ( etc.)
...... the cost would be less than 30% of the "helicopter" helmets including the comms
Hmmm - The old "cost" argument again
Is the relatively marginal saving, compared with the cost of a "proper" aircraft helmet, ( and considering the total cost of operating your particular ride ) worth the RISK of finding out the hard way that the motorcycle / rally / bicycle / skateboarding helmet you used / modified to save a few pounds, leaves you with a fractured skull / broken neck ( or worse )
?
OK, so a decent helmet will set you back around £1500 or so - but if you reckon on it lasting 10 years, it works out at £12.50 a month - I pay way more than that each month to watch Sky telly
