****If you’re traveling 50-80 mph and you lay that bike down, that helmet will do nothing more than keep your brain alive till they transport the body to the hospital and pronounce you dead of massive internal injuries.

Tell that to the Moto GP racers who “lay it down” at 130 mph and sometimes get up w/out a scratch. It’s not the sliding, it’s the crashing into solid objects or getting run over by another car after you crash that produces those internal injuries.

These guys are running a closed track with heavy leathers, boots, helmets. The track are most times lined with bales of hay and such.

You lay your bike down on any of the highways or byways here in Houston....your gonna impact with something along the roadway or another vehicle will run smack dab over ya.

Not even the same analogy.
