HelmetCheck.org Launched
Posted by Brian | Advice, Business, Scooter news | Posted on February 13th, 2009
One thing about bikers, never ride without a reliable helmet. And to make sure that riders are free from untoward accidents, the Motorcycle Industry Council’s (MIC) Helmet Task Force has developed HelmetCheck.org to verify a helmet they own or are perhaps considering for purchase. This aims to make sure that riders comply with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s safety standard (FMVSS 218).
Major helmet companies and distributors AFX, AGV, Arai, AXO, HJC, Icon, Scorpion, and Shoei have thus far provided the information on their full line of helmets to the site.
“The most important piece of safety equipment a rider can wear is a DOT-compliant helmet,” said Eric Anderson, chairman of the MIC Helmet Task Force. “We hope to call attention to the DOT standard and let riders know that they can reliably identify and verify that the helmet they own, or are considering for purchase, is DOT-compliant.”
