After 20 years, new proposed helmet regs to catch up with technology ECE 22.06 (nothing to do with EU) |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #1 Thanks for posting that website. Interesting stuff. Did you read the article on German road closures to combat noise? That's a cautionary tale for a lot of riders.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #2Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #1 I see they have the map I use to plan trips as I like Germany but there are a lot of NIMBYs. Most roads are only closed to bikes on weekends and are heavily policed. I plan to have days in the Black Forest on weekdays. The rural roads are quieter, rarely any police and fun can be had. Last summer I was riding my S1000XR with a friend on his KTM 1290GT over the Schaunisland road from Freiburg to Todtnau which is a superb road. Closed to bikes on Saturday & Sunday. The original source is here http://www.mintelonline.de/Streckensperrungen/ and you can download the routes in a GPX or other map formats. It makes a good catalogue of great German roads to ride Monday to Friday in most cases. A small number are closed to bikes always e.g. one in Bad Bertrich in the Eifel region. |

It is good to see that some regulators are beginning to address brain injuries due to rotation, not just impact. This seem to be a major cause of concussion damage. |

Zitat von Vtbob im Beitrag #4 I'm all for the new tests, but I'm not convinced that adding an intermediate shear layer (between the comfort padding and EPS liner) is the practical answer. According to MEPS or MIPS descriptions, the goal is to allow 10~15mm rotation of the EPS liner and outer shell about the comfort liner / skull. In my experience, I can't tighten my helmet enough to prevent that amount of rotation. Accordingly, a decent comfort liner may provide this type of protection.

Perhaps a response to the FIM Racing Homologation Program (FIM Racing Homologation Programme link), which seems to be gaining some traction in the non-racing world. “A good man always knows his limitations.” |

Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #7 I will agree with Snell's comment on multi-axis testing (6-degree of freedom) as being challenging to perform in a controlled manner and interpret. At times, having a lot of data doesn't mean you'll know what's critical/important in that dataset. In the worst-case scenario, some data miner, unconstrained by first or second-order physical models, may fixate on some feature in the dataset and run amuck with non-physical claims of performance. Yes, a wondrous rabbit hole of confusion.
