@Ken Mason by saying “highway bars”, do you mean “crash bars” ? Assuming so, I can’t understand how they would have prevented the PD officer from getting “launched” after T-boning a car …. you’d expect him to get launched from that sort of impact with, or without highway (crash) bars.

@WilsonMackle101

@Ken Mason Highway bars and crash bars are the same thing. Their main use as far as I know is to create a buffer between the tarmac and the motorcycle so that a rider's leg won't get crushed under the bike. So I think you might have been right in saying that it was a budget justification, because they won't stop you from getting launched like a hot potato when you hit something hard enough to travel 60ft lol I could be wrong though, I'm no expert

An eye opener, a red pill moment, no Bs That's how real videos should be more detailed and analytical Keep up the good work👌👌👌👌

8:36 a correction and an important addition for anyone getting deep into standards. For high level protection look to see if the clothing meets EN13595 either in part of in full. Clothing made to prEN17092 has different levels starting at B (no impact protectors) A (same as B with impact protectors added), AA - medium level protection - and AAA which is high level. Even though prEN17092 is a newer standard, even AAA prEN17092(pr refers to it being a provisional standard) is (currently) inferior compared to EN13595. For the best, look for fully certified EN13595 clothing.

Instead you can use a rainsuit for 1/10 price of a goretex insert, which is good, but really not so perfect (practicaly tested).

The dislikes are from genuinely informed people.. “Ece offers less impact attenuation” That is misleading. Ece helmets are more flexible/less hard then Snell helmets (Snell mandate higher tolerances for penetration and thus require thicker and harder shells to pass), these means Snell helmets are heavier and stiffer, making Ece helmets lighter and softer, more flexible, meaning they ATTENUATE impacts much better, this leads researchers to believe Ece helmets are better because they absorb and attenuate impact forces to the brain, which statistically account to the majority of head injuries to riders, unlike penetrating sharp objects that account to a very little percentage of injuries, which makes Snell helmets a little out of focus, because in trying to be very strict about making hard and thick shells, they have made their helmets heavier (which is not good in a crash) and harder (which attenuate less impacts and transmit more forces to the brain). Fourtnine should get informed before misleading people

This is bloody well done. I've always enjoyed the work from Ryan and the team behind these. Nice sets, good on the road audio, good editing, well written, nicely shot and Ryan presents really well. But this is just so informative, useful and specifically engaging. As someone that analyzes social media for retail I have to say this sets the bar high. Fantastic job guys.

You're continuing to raise the bar much higher with every video! Keep it going 👌👌

Thank you so much for all the information and no fluff. This is the reason I keep coming back to your channel.

Well done ! I enjoy your videos a lot. Just my two cents about helmets : Poly-carbonate is actually a very good compromise. The "thermoplastic" is really special as it wont crack under shock but rather bend and absorb lot of impact energy. The real drawback is that it is a bit chemical sensitive and mostly it cracks under long time stress. It means if something is bolted too tight or riveted to the PC shell it may develop cracks and may already be broken on the day it has to protect your head. As any plastic stuff the poly-carbonate is not "bad" itself but has to be used by skilled helmet maker. Another item that may make a significant difference is the "noise" in the helmet. No helmet is perfectly sound proof (fortunately) but some are badly noisy. A perfect helmet should allow external noise in (to a degree) but mostly NOT ADD any more. Sorry if my English is not perfect but it is not my mother laguage

They should add this to motorcycle safety courses. It's informative, well-made, and so easy to pay attention to that I watched it for fun in my leisure time.

Bold move, this is one of the most informative videos out there next to the dot one, I specially liked the glossary and textile information. You guys just keep on giving, congratulations.

Very well researched (more than one could say for some!), highly informative (more than one could say for some!) and superbly presented (more than one could say for some!). Thanks, Ryan, I love your videos and I look forward to your continuing motorcycle rider assistance.

I recently got my rider learner's permit - had to do a couple of days of very light instruction. These videos should be required viewing. Seriously, mate, you're doing incredible work here and actually helping to keep people safe. Thank you!

CE garments will be tested with the Darmstadt machine moving forward. It spins at a certain speed (~25 - 120km/h depending on the rating level) then drops the fabric samples onto concrete until they stop. The point of wear-through is detected by an electric current running through a metal plate behind each fabric sample, I believe. It's pretty cool!

Really good stuff! One topic on helmets that you didn't cover: MIPS (multi-directional impact protection system), basically a layer letting the inner and outer shell move independently in a crash, with the aim to reduce rotational forces.
