Thanks for sharing this interesting and educational video. On the bike testing. The anvil had a sheet of sandpaper to simulate asphalt. I know that there are different types of asphalt and cement. But instead of sandpaper, why not use real asphalt samples? What speeds are simulated in your bike testing? Road bikes in a pace line can sustain speeds well beyond 20mph on flat surfaces. Coasting down common hills, bikes can achieve speeds in excess of 30mph. Class 3 electric bikes provides assistance up to 28mph. The Dutch have the NTA-8776 standards for the Class 3 types of e-bikes. Are there any speed standards for helmets to be sold in America? I feel that there is very little knowledge available to the consumers when making a helmet purchase. Most consumers make their decisions based on looks and name brand. I myself struggle to find adequate information.

Love helmet science so much. You guys did a great job!
