Received an email today stating that the SHARP safety rating has now rated 500 helmets!
"Since the launch of SHARP in 2007, more than 16,000 impact tests have been carried out over and above minimum legal requirements to generate the 500 safety ratings. In addition, SHARP provides guidance on how to choose a comfortable helmet that fits a user’s head securely and safely and uses a simple 5-star rating system to communicate the risk of head injury. Providing this safety information is likely to have contributed to over 40 per cent drop in motorcyclist fatalities since 2007."
The more info we have, the better!
