Default You don't need an expensive bike helmet to ride safely---BHSILab Tests Finds no difference between expensive and cheap helmets.

I remember the Bell Helmet ad of a little girl sitting on her bike
wearing shiny new athletic shoes of some sort. The caption was "Does
your child have $100 feet and a $10 head?"


Except that Bell is making $10 helmets as well as $200+ helmets in their
Giro line.

Sooner or later, though, they will be hoist by their own petard in
court. Just ask Riddell. Those 85% prevention claims will be tested.


Bell has never claimed an "85% prevention rate" whatever that actually
means. Of course no study ever claimed 85% in the way you're implying
either. You're taking stuff out of context. As usual. Because taking
things in context, and looking objectively, doesn't fit your agenda.
