That's kind of cool.

But I don't like their little opinion turned into fact statement to start it off "It’s a dirty little secret: motorcycle helmets can sometimes do more harm than good." No. That's not true. Ever. Sure you might get a concussion from a lower speed head impact. But I'd like to see what your head looks like if you weren't wearing a helmet at all. If you can get a concussion apparently from a 4mph crash WITH a helmet. You could die without one. Then again, it's Faux and I expect nothing more.

Awesome idea though, and I hope the company makes out well! Though I suspect if it actually works they'll have a better chance at "making it" if they just sell the big time helmet companies the idea.

I just read the very bottom of this article. God this writer is annoying.

In the meantime, the 6D helmet will be on the track next year on the head of Honda AMA Supercross rider Eli Tomac. Of course, if he’s as good as he probably thinks he is, 6D may never find out how well its invention actually works.

That whole second sentence is so uncalled for. What a dick. lol

agree with you 100 percent. no way you can make out better with out a helmet. yeah if they should link up with a big time helmet manufacture.

well obviously they're saying that motorcyclists must ride fast all the time s they can be well protected.

psssh, anyone who even suggests that a helmet does more damage than good at low speeds obviously hasn't clunked their head while riding a bicycle without a helmet lately.

Or bonked their head on the ceiling on the way to the basement.

Or bonked their head on the kitchen cabinets.

Or bonked their head on a table when they crawl under it to pick something up.

or bonked their head when... well, I think you get the point
