Hi ET,
What is fascinating in the debate is the unsupported proposition that a motor bike helmet may "potentially" be better than a purpose design. Now that is not quite a firecracker, but it is a cracker.
There are an established set of helmet standards, designed in blood from literally hundreds of helo accidents. But here on the prune, we can ignore all that and suppose, just because it seems likely, that those standards are unecessary and in fact, are probably just to make sure the helmet is too expensive to use.
I say again: $3000 for your noggin. BARGAIN.
MJB: there are already purpose designed multifit helmets meeting aviation spec on the market: the Alpha 400 series is the best example. NVG cannot be mounted on them, but for all the other uses it ticks the boxes.
