This would make for a very effective ad promoting safe riding habits. Nothing like good visuals to see why helmets save lives. Nicely done.

As a paramedic who responds to accidents i can confirm that this is what people usually look like, sometimes the head doesn't pop but we'll see huge fractures and brain matter exposed.

This is especially important to all the folk with no body!

[KenHeron]

But if I wear a helmet, my buddies down at the trauma hospital will miss me. 🤣

Imagine driving on that road after these tests lol.

As a guy who survived from a motorbike accident, I strongly recommend you to wear a full face helmet like in the video.

When I had an accident, my head slammed onto the road and dragged about 10 meters across the road. I couldn't stand up straight away, luckily another driver helped me to get off to the sidewalk. When I took off my helmet, I saw large scratches on the face of my helmet. If I didn't wear a full face helmet, 100% sure my face would be torn. I fully recovered from my injury about a month after the accident.

3:45 You shouldn't be demonetized for educational content. This is a warning to everyone who wants to ride motorbikes and think they'd be fine without a helmet.

The quality of that slo-mo shot is so DANG good! Keep it up Chris!

A good mindset/general rule of thumb when buying a helmet is: How much do you think your head is worth? This should reflect on the quality of protection you give it. (Also, ALWAYS buy your helmet in store)

[skettl]

this should be done with some sort of large sand bag or something attached to the neck to simulate the body. With the helmet drop i think some of the damage came from under the helmet

Snell approved helmets have saved my life/brains twice on the street (plus prevented numerous injuries riding off road 2, 3 and 4-wheelers)...
Both of the street get-offs were 60+mph high sides and (very lucky) my worst injuries were getting knocked out once and a separated shoulder (plus the dreaded road rash). My head/helmet hit hard enough to knock me out the first time (so I don't remember hitting the pavement) but the second time I for sure remember my forehead (HELMET) hitting the pavement first/hardest and (not kidding) after tumbling who knows how many times, that helmet was "damaged all the way around, top to bottom". So I have ZERO doubt that wearing a GOOD HELMET has saved my life more than once...

A body on it would be way more accurate considering all of the G forces don't go directly into the head and the shock goes more into the body as well.

The fence at 0:40 makes it look like he's wearing fishnets

Good video! I see the ballistic dummies in a lot of gun related videos and it's cool to see them being used for other types of safety tests.

As a police officer this is what I usually see when responding to bike accidents

Back when I use to live in California, I use to go stay at a cousins house. And a group of us use to ride motor bikes on the street. I was around 13 at the time and none of us ever wore a helmet. I’m glad we never crashed and bust our heads open.

Great use of editing with the slow motion, incredible camera.
I think this video is doing a great service to the community, sometimes this is just the wake-up call someone needs, I think many viewers will be impacted. Well done.

[Fireheart]

I figured the no-helmet test was gonna be brutal but GAHDAMN THAT WAS BRUTAL!

[jamesburgess]

I’d like to see a retest with the ballistic head attached to some sort of crash test dummy, I think the amount of damage caused by the roll would be significantly reduced you’d see less damage than chucking a decapitated head down a highway at high rates of speed.
Either way all riders out there should be taking every precaution for their safety ride safe.

Well crap, if my head ever comes off when I'm riding my bike, this video shows it really doesn't matter, thank you for your good work
