First SHARP helmet ratings now out

The Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme (SHARP) set up by the Dft (Deparment for Transport) has published the results of its first batch of full face helmet tests, and results differ by as much as 70%. Results are also not uniform per manufacturer, it depends on the individual helmet.

You can check out if your helmet is in the results by visiting the SHARP website at http://www.direct.gov.uk/sharp

Ride safe
