Motorcycle helmets can be traced back to the Brooklands circuit in the UK, where motorcycle races are held
In 1914, Eric Gardner, the doctor in charge of the race, saw that every two weeks there were motorcycle riders with head injuries, so he found a place to make the world's first helmets from canvas and shell materials.
In 1931, Harley Davidson and Indian Motorcycle Company in the United States began to develop higher speed motorcycles. With the development of two motorcycle manufacturing companies on the bright side, helmets as motorcycle accessories also keep pace with the times and have been developed.
In 1953, with the rapid development of motorcycles, the speed became faster and faster, and more and more people died from accidents. Right there is C Professor F designed the shock absorbing helmet of the world, which is specially designed for high-speed driving. It includes an external hard shell and a built-in filler layer. The prototype helmet with both comfort and impact energy dispersion was officially launched. It is a turning point of God. As you might expect, helmet manufacturers around the world have mushroomed and various helmets have been designed.
In 1957, SNELL Memorial Foundation, the most authoritative leader in the world, was established. This is to commemorate the death of a driver named Snell in an accident. The foundation has provided independent helmet quality testing facilities to manufacturers and conquerors. As of today, we can see that only those who strictly pass the quality testing standards of the organization will have SNELL stickers.
In 1961, although a large number of powerful data emphasized the importance of helmet protection for life safety, there was still no mandatory law to restrict people to wear helmets consciously. Many people think helmets can be worn but not worn, because they think it will be cooler without helmets. Finally, on January 1, 1961, Australia issued a law mandating the wearing of motorcycle helmets to restrain those restless knights.
In 1966, the U.S. Highway Safety Act introduced helmet laws that all states must comply with. The law clearly states that all knights must wear helmets, or they will have to pay road maintenance fees and construction funds. This also saw the development of American international safety standards.
In 1971, Bell developed the first fully covered motorcycle helmet and cross-country helmet. In 1974, the U.S. Department of Transportation proposed that helmet manufacturers must comply with helmet manufacturing standards, which is also the U.S. DOT standard we saw later.
In 1975, 47 countries implemented mandatory helmet laws, although some regions later abolished this mandatory law.
In the 21st century, with the rapid development of science and technology, more helmets with high-tech materials and excellent physical design are introduced.
