Why is it so hard to comprehend that some helmet manufacturers have tested their helmets IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEW BS TESTING METHOD but obviously not the same tests at the actual BSi test lab. So none of the manufacturers have said they have helmets that have passed the BSi test, but have tested as per the new tests and are confident with their results.
You are the one who does not comprehend.
The testing that the companies put themselves through can in no way be considered the same as the new "2013 BSI" test that has not even been calibrated yet.
You might be intellectually challenged, or perhaps, simply an Ayrtek partisan - good luck to you, I don't really give a flying fig. But, how companies can confidently claim their helmets are compliant with the new BSI and also claim that no retailer on the UK will ever stock Shrey, when the test has not even been calibrated yet, has got me wondering what other ulterior forces are at play.
At this point of time, the only official tests that have been held have been passed by Shrey - the same as the other brands.
To suggest for one second in all seriousness that:
that some helmet manufacturers have tested their helmets IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEW BS TESTING METHOD but obviously not the same tests at the actual BSi test lab
...has about as much credibility as the old East Germany and Soviet Union claiming that their athletes "passed all our internal doping testing".
If you believe that, then I am happy to sell you some competitively priced broad acres in Queensland that is visible only at low tide.
At the end of the day, this all boils down to a very overhearing British superiority complex, whereby you refuse to believe that any Asian brand can possibly be as safe/good/durable as a British product. The exact pure racist hubris that brought your despotic empire to its knees is still visible on CBF on an almost daily basis.
