How can open face helmets pass but not modular helmets?
I looked at the certified listing section and see open face helmets listed. They appear to be Snell certified.
So how does a modular helmet not make it but an open faced helmet does? I guess, if the latch failed and the visor flips up, they'd call it a fail?
More importantly, in the proverbial same crash, am I safer in a Snell certified helmet than one that is not Snell certified?
Many variables in a crash, I understand this, but is it a matter of a small degree of difference in safety without Snell or a big difference?
