^^^ she speaks the truth, i had to sit through that dam seminar... it sucked, but i did learn alot of things that people should learn about helmets before they buy them. snell gives each manufacture 3 chances to pass i believe and each time they fail, they lower the standards. theres alot of things that go into it but just because it says snell doesnt mean that its good. honestly, wtf are you going to buy a cheep helmet??? did you spend too much on your bike that you cant protect yourself peoperly. you only have one life... dont kill yourself cuse you wanted to save $100 on a helmet and become another stat on a piece of paper cuse your dead. just my .02 . motorcycles are an expensive sport, if you cant afford it, dont do it
