vira tries one of his helmets

vira kasantikul was trained as a doctor and worked a lot on forensic analysis. too many motorcycle accidents he thought, too many poor helmets. so he went to honda and convinced them to sponsor a lab that would understand the causes of acccidents and improve helmet designs. they gave him $0.5M. in the past 4 years his team has accumulated data over 1500 accidents. each one involves collecting more than 2000 different elements of information and different teams rush to the scenes of accidents often faster than the medics. unbelievable tenacity and drive. i have read more than 10 published papers out of the dozens they have produced. every aspect is analyzed deeper than ever before. any question i could ask he had tons of detailed information and analysis on. absolutely mesmerizing experience.
