The helmets breaks apart to reduce the shock but wearing the unbreakable ones along with no shock absorbers inside is just like carrying the same exact floor on the head in which the helmet might impact on.
@@AFjwdhfkusdhfkwudf I am not expert on this but some companies design it to break in some parts, usually keeps head area unbreakable with proper padding and jaw area to break and split to absorb shock. It's almost the same concept why car companies makes front side soft and progressively strong towards core. Breakable ones might work better for small to medium impacts since it can absorb the small ones better but unbreakable one with proper padding might be useful only if the impact is extreme. If there is any multilayered ones where some of the layers breaks but inner core remains intact, that might be helpful in case of extreme impacts, that's my opinion.
The story behind that guy making those helmets is kinda sad though. I think it was his brother, but regardless of who it was, someone he knew and loved died from a head injury, in a motorcycle wreck. So he decided to make a helmet to help prevent others from dieing from head injuries. His heart is in the right place, he just doesn't understand physics.
Can you not make a helmet that will break with more blunt but is stab proof? Maybe this helmet still breaks apart with blunt force but won't puncture if stabbed.
@@itwasaliens No, he has other videos where he is smashing helmets with what looks like a round slab of concrete on a piece of wood with handles. It's a very blunt impact, and it just bounces off of his helmet. Can search "unbreakable helmet" and you'll find some of his other videos.
Here's the thing brother. You don't need a helmet that breaks you also don't need a helmet that doesn't break. What you need is a helmet that absorbs the impact and distributes the force across the helmet. A helmet that breaks means all the impact is concentrated in one place that implies it has failed to absorb the impact. But also that doesn't mean a helmet is doing its job properly if it doesn't break.
If I recall it the same reason cars now a day fold up like a plastic bottle during crashes. The damage reflects how much of the energy it absorbed. Like a sponge in water, it tried to soak up all the water it could. If it did not, the energy would have moved past the exterior and gone into the interior. Which is were you are at. And you would soak up the energy instead.
@@gerardomacias7370 lemme guess u learn from tiktok Cars have airbags and seatbelt to protect humans Exterior is only for aerodynamic and lightness Cars chassis(skeleton) is most important thing, that doesn't break under most condition to safeguard riders U know nothing about cars or helmet or science
Conclusion: Buy a helmet with a solid yet soft padding inside to absorb as much shock as possible, make sure it'll break when smashed to the wall. Another tip is, be careful when you're riding vehicle. Not getting into accident in the first place is better than any helmet you're wearing.😊
The biggest danger on the road is other people and you can't exactly control what other people do, though. You can be the most vigilant and careful person ever and some idiot could still end up crashing into you. Especially if you're riding a bicycle or motorcycle, as people tend to disregard them more.

These are motorcycle helmets, not bicycle helmets. A motorcycle helmet shouldn’t break under the conditions they had in the video. Read about helmet certification requirements from ECE and Snell, two of the most well respected safety standards for motorcycle equipment. They have standards for shell durability that are backed by decades of research and development, and any helmet shell that would break that easy would fail. Lastly, don’t talk about safety gear if you don’t know what you’re talking about. That’s how people get killed.
You know, IDKsterling has probably already saved alot of lives and hardships of people by posting these informative shorts. Im not exaggerating. Thanks Sterling for warning people about these dangers.

Good information! I ride not so much now being a Mom and busy , but when I got my drivers license I also did my motorcycle as well, rode that more than I drove my car…Xx Always looking out for an unbreakable helmet, GOD is GOOD, I never found one or needed one , never crashed BUT it’s good to know this knowledge now for the future, thanks SO MUCH for this video !!!💯💯💯🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Bro that dude with the horned helmet looks like he’s about to delve into the abyss and find the many curiosities that haven’t come to fruition within the bottomless pit of no return.
Force equals mass times speed divided by distance. The distance lowers the force. This is why jumping 10 feet into water hurts much less than 10 feet to concrete. If you dead stop the distance is 0 so it basically becomes mass times speed. This is also why the tuck and roll is effective
Be sure to replace your helmet after a crash, even if there are no visible cracks. One hit will diminish it's ability to absorb the next hit, because it already absorbed the energy from the first.
Same with cars: old Russian cars were barely damaged when in accidents, but passengers suffered horrific injuries; today’s cars with best safety records absorb the impacts, protecting passengers, but end up being destroyed
Much like cars back in the day, the force of the impact has to go somewhere, and if it isn't going through where it's suppose to then it's going to go through you. Cars back in the day were durable as hell and getting into a crash didn't do a whole lot of damage to the car, but because the car was resisting the force of the impact all that force was transferred to the driver. It's why they kept finding people dead in their cars with no real damage to the car itself, because if all the force is being transferred to you then even a crash going 30 can be lethal, thats why cars these days are built to crumple in an impact so the face gets greatly reduced before it can transfer to the driver. Same for the helmets, if the helmet is resisting the force then all that force gets transferred to your head instead, which is why helmets are designed to break, so that way at least some of the force is negated before hitting you.
My dad's motorcycle helmet had a flat surface on one side of it after he had an accident. It was originally a completely smooth rounded surface originally. It grinded down from where he landed. Thankfully, it saved his life and he got away with a broken arm and a few broken fingers on the opposite hand. That was almost 11 years ago.
Kind of skirted around the issue without fully understanding it. The point of the helmet is to dissipate the energy as heat instead of damaging your head. It takes energy to compress the foam, it also takes energy to break the helmet, so that uses up more of it.
If a helmet breaks apart completely after a *small* portion of the impact force has been used up then it won’t be effective at cushioning the impact anyway. It makes sense to have a hard shell with cushioning material inside of it.
hard shell would be a lot scary as the shock would transfer to your head instead of the helmet itself (which should result from the breaking apart of the helmet), imagine the "hard" helmet becomes dented while you are wearing it due to a car crash, can you pull the helmet off? no, basically you're probably unconscious, hanging to your dear life or even deceased.
It does not make sense. Using a hard shell reduces the time of the collision. By Newton's second law, Net Force = ∆P / t, the impact force becomes larger, because ∆P is constant, and t decreases. The force acting on the head is larger, because a normal force is acting on the head by the cushion is larger. Because, the force acting on the cushion is larger. Using a softer shell reduces the force acting on the head. Because such shell leads to deformation, hence, increases the impact time. Edit: There are ways the helmet can break apart, at instant, or not. Assume that you are saying the helmet breaks instantly, as the helmet is hard, then the above explanation may help. Extra: Force cannot be used up. It can only be balanced by another force.
@@gjdjejssowkwk I shouldn’t have said force is used up. I meant relative velocity and kinetic energy will be used up over a larger distance by having a soft substance with the right amount of flexibility/yield strength. The worst case, would be if the helmet breaks up before decelerating the head fully. So you get a low deceleration force for an inch or two followed by the rest of the deceleration happening almost instantly with very high forces and direct contact between a small area on the skull and a point on the impact surface. Looking at real materials that are exposed to wear and tear, and could be colliding with an irregularly shaped object, it makes sense to mount the cushioning material within a hard outer shell. The outer shell just distributes the impact force across the surface of the inner cushion, which then deforms to reduce the deceleration forces.
Maybe the video is just to demonstate thats its stab proof (so if you fall on rebar or something similar it wont go through), but it can still break apart with more blunt force. It makes sense to me to have a helmet that cant be punctured.
Was gonna say (again i think) that padding in an unbreakable helmet makes all the difference. Regular unbreakable helmets with no padding will likely lead to your death, but an unbreakable helmet with very substantial padding like (idk, lets use buzzwords) Crypto AI NFT Teriyaki Blockchain Reactive Enameled Assistance Kinetofoam (or C.A.N.T. B.R.E.A.K.; couldnt come up with a buzzword for T so I used my favourite sauce beginning with a T)
@@tripplesouth I didn't say the padding can't/shouldn't break - while i can see a sort of unbreakable padding that will disperse all the energy from the impact across the entire area of the helmet and padding, my original thought process on this was that the padding was the only part that was replaceable in an unbreakable helmet. The Acronym is because of the fact the helmet is unbreakable, not referring to the padding specifically
It's the same concept engineers have used with modern cars for the past few decades now. Back in the day cars were primarily steel and extremely durable but over the years this changed with more and more vehicles being designed with fiberglass and different polymers that are designed to crush upon impact. The cab of vehicles are generally reinforced to protect the occupants but the rest of the car (trunk, bumpers, engine compartment) are all made to absorb the force and to crush, thus lessening the trauma to the contents inside the cab of the vehicle. This is roughly around the time when car manufacturers and legislation started pushing seat belt laws. Wearing your seat belt in a modern car will help keep you from being ejected and contained in the safest part of a car during an accident, the cab. These design principles along with airbags have made a dramatic difference in the safety of automotive vehicles over the years.
Now kids, dont be stupid in the comments. Just because a helmet isn't pancaking under a truck doesn't mean it's worse than the one that does and cracks. There should always be a balance between durability and malleability.
It’s supposed to break so your head can get a little bit more space to jiggle around and escape the helmet. If the helmet breaks, you’ll still have the problem of your skull rattling on the inside of the helmet no matter how soft the padding could be. Maybe it’s worth it, maybe not.
But if it breaks tho then your skull gets penetrated by the rebar. So its choosing between getting a concussion and getting an accidental burr hole surgery.
Less likely of getting stabbed. Most motorcycle or bicycle deaths are caused by sudden impacts. So you might not even get burr hole surgery because you would still die.
If you go flying sideways into rebar head first, your in a bit of a catch 22, either you get shishkabobed, or you get a severe hemorrhage and a broken neck/spine wich can also kill/paralyze you. So try not to bike near construction zones i guess 😅😅
I was going around a turn fast when I was new to riding a bicycle fast. There was gravel. The bike slid out from under me, and I was riding at least 15mph before I slid and hit the back of my head on a curb. I didn't understand how I was still conscious at first. Then I was like, oh, the helmet. My head didn't even hurt, and there was nothing wrong with it. That helmet was only good for display use afterwards, but I really appreciated helmets even more after it. I even wear one when I ride a kayak down an icy slope instead of a sled.
thats why cars crumple up on impact, its to absorb shock. I was in a skateboarding accident and i hit my head on a curb the helmet broke but my head was fine probably because of what this guy described
They used to do the same thing with cars. Old cars from the 50’s and 60’s used to be built with a rigid steel frame, and sure enough, the outside of the car was mostly fine… but that meant the passenger (I recommended watching the Chevy bel-air vs Chevy Malibu crash test as the best example of this) inside absorbed the rest of the impact instead. Then, ever since we started to build cars with crumple zones in the front, casualties from car crashes have significantly gone done. Same thing applies to the helmets…
Reminds me of one motorclist that survived despite having head stuck between weels of truck (two axles next to each others' weels) it proved how important investment buying good helmet is
im no helmet engineer but maybe a hard shell with brittle exterior and padding on the inside, brittle exterior dissipates impact, hard shell blocks penetration, and padding absorbs shock.
I just want to point out here before some people think that an tougher helmet is never useful. Safety equipment is generally designed for specific scenarios. Bike & Motorcycle helmets are designed for protecting your head from the ground, which is a wide, flat surface. Penetration by a physical object like the guy in the demonstration video is showing is a COMPLETELY different scenario. I can see how there could be specific work environments where there could be risk of falling, pointy objects, and in that case a much tougher helmet; that doesn't necessarily negate the risk of hemorrhaging, but instead is meant to protect you from a much more dangerous risk of a makeshift lawn dart going through your skull. But again, that is NOT the same scenario as crashing on your motorcycle and slamming your head onto the ground.
In the army, you gotta wear combat helmets in lmtv. The back for troop transport 15+ people its completely normal Seen people fall out, hit their heads, and not get back up
I can speak from experience. An acceleration/deceleration injury is fatal if you are not lucky. I am very lucky to be able to say this. My airbag stopped me rather immediately. You would think that was a good thing, but it's not speed that kills you. It's the sudden stop. I was very lucky that there were people working on their car at a house nearby so they responded quickly, kept my head still and made sure I kept breathing until EMS got there.
In Indonesia, which many people use fake helmet due to cheap price. Many fake helmet breaks during motorcycle accident and it killed many its user. So hard shell helmet is good actually
It's important it wont fall apart making you hit your head on a second impact. Most helmets are not that weak but it's important to note that the extreme opposite is not that good.
Even army helmets are intentionally not super solid. When being hit with a bullet, this same effect took place and the brain inside was like a ringing bell. Each head protection must have some amortisation of the hit, it doesn't have to break necesarily. Top racing helmets should be a great example.
It's the same reason why old cars are more durable than newer ones. The newer ones break easily and crumble up but have higher survivability. Old cars can take damage but a lot more people die when crashing
That "unbreakable helmet" sounds like a good idea. You definitely don't want a piece of rebar going through your skull. A breakable helmet might lighten the blow, but in the face of a piercing object your brain is dead. It just doesn't know it yet. )
This is total bullshit, you surely have a deathwish if you believe this idiocy. As someone already answered, the chance of having a piercing object in your path when falling from your bike is 100000x lower than the very real chance of hitting the ground (and having the unbreakable helmet smash you brain into pulp if you were so stupid to wear it instead of wearing a good quality, breakable, safe bike helmet)...
My guy, if the rebar is going through the helmet and your head, the force alone would probably kill you. That unbreakable stopping a piercing rebar won't matter much if the force of it still kills you.
Guys like this will remove the most important features of items thinking they are making them better and then flood the market with cheap products. Then people will wonder why the stuff they have doesn't work right.
Another note, never buy a helmet second hand. Also never wear a helmet that has been previously dropped. Its not worth the potential risk as the padding underneath the shell could be compromised without showing external damage.
Helmets such as this for cycling are MEANT to break when an impact is made, the helmet supposed to be able to break so it can absorb all the shock so your brain doesn't, if doesn't break then it will more than likely just allow those shockwaves to travel straight to your head and give you a concussion, or worse.
Not a problem as long the padding inside not so thin to absorb huge impact. Unbreakable helmet that dangerous is when inside really don't have padding or very thin one.
The helmets breaks apart to reduce the shock but wearing the unbreakable ones along with no shock absorbers inside is just like carrying the same exact floor on the head in which the helmet might impact on.
Would having a lot of padding completely solve this though? Cause I rather have my brain smacked against my skull, then something crushing my skull

B.R.E.A.K.; couldnt come up with a buzzword for T so I used my favourite sauce beginning with a T)
"Couldn't think of a buzzword for T so I used my favourite sauce..."
Modern problems require modern solutions

also i think you forgot to conclude your statement after that long acronym and the explanation lol
A padding that doesn't break the impact seems bad.
If anything you want the padding to break the impact.
@@tripplesouth I didn't say the padding can't/shouldn't break - while i can see a sort of unbreakable padding that will disperse all the energy from the impact across the entire area of the helmet and padding, my original thought process on this was that the padding was the only part that was replaceable in an unbreakable helmet. The Acronym is because of the fact the helmet is unbreakable, not referring to the padding specifically
It's the same concept engineers have used with modern cars for the past few decades now. Back in the day cars were primarily steel and extremely durable but over the years this changed with more and more vehicles being designed with fiberglass and different polymers that are designed to crush upon impact. The cab of vehicles are generally reinforced to protect the occupants but the rest of the car (trunk, bumpers, engine compartment) are all made to absorb the force and to crush, thus lessening the trauma to the contents inside the cab of the vehicle. This is roughly around the time when car manufacturers and legislation started pushing seat belt laws. Wearing your seat belt in a modern car will help keep you from being ejected and contained in the safest part of a car during an accident, the cab. These design principles along with airbags have made a dramatic difference in the safety of automotive vehicles over the years.
Really detailed analysis. I finally understand now LMAO 😂
Now kids, dont be stupid in the comments.
Just because a helmet isn't pancaking under a truck doesn't mean it's worse than the one that does and cracks.
There should always be a balance between durability and malleability.
Wonder if some sort of soft material placed under the helmet can help reduce the impact in anyway? 🤔
It’s supposed to break so your head can get a little bit more space to jiggle around and escape the helmet. If the helmet breaks, you’ll still have the problem of your skull rattling on the inside of the helmet no matter how soft the padding could be. Maybe it’s worth it, maybe not.
But if it breaks tho then your skull gets penetrated by the rebar.
So its choosing between getting a concussion and getting an accidental burr hole surgery.
Less likely of getting stabbed. Most motorcycle or bicycle deaths are caused by sudden impacts. So you might not even get burr hole surgery because you would still die.
If you go flying sideways into rebar head first, your in a bit of a catch 22, either you get shishkabobed, or you get a severe hemorrhage and a broken neck/spine wich can also kill/paralyze you. So try not to bike near construction zones i guess 😅😅
He really hit that 🤶🏻🤶🏻🤶🏻🐡🥕
"🎅🎅🎅🐡🥕 always gets me fr" - 🤖🤖🤖
Depending on how a motorcycle crash turns out... death might be the best outcome.
All that energy has to go somewhere. It is why contrary to all of the comedians out there, older cars were pretty deadly since they didn't crumple.
0:29 and there's not even a scratch
*proceeds to show a scratch*
I was going around a turn fast when I was new to riding a bicycle fast. There was gravel. The bike slid out from under me, and I was riding at least 15mph before I slid and hit the back of my head on a curb. I didn't understand how I was still conscious at first. Then I was like, oh, the helmet. My head didn't even hurt, and there was nothing wrong with it. That helmet was only good for display use afterwards, but I really appreciated helmets even more after it. I even wear one when I ride a kayak down an icy slope instead of a sled.
thats why cars crumple up on impact, its to absorb shock. I was in a skateboarding accident and i hit my head on a curb the helmet broke but my head was fine probably because of what this guy described
The only helmet that shouldn't break is a space helmet.
This brain is already bleeding to death, it just doesn't know it yet.🎅🎅🐱
It's not crazy it's just physics 🤷❤️
The helmet is already dead, it just doesn't know it yet
They used to do the same thing with cars. Old cars from the 50’s and 60’s used to be built with a rigid steel frame, and sure enough, the outside of the car was mostly fine… but that meant the passenger (I recommended watching the Chevy bel-air vs Chevy Malibu crash test as the best example of this) inside absorbed the rest of the impact instead. Then, ever since we started to build cars with crumple zones in the front, casualties from car crashes have significantly gone done. Same thing applies to the helmets…
"this helmet is invincible it just doesn't know it yet"
This helmet *isn't* already dead, it just doesn't know it yet 🎅🎅🎅🥕🐡
Reminds me of one motorclist that survived despite having head stuck between weels of truck (two axles next to each others' weels) it proved how important investment buying good helmet is
Yeah you break your neck when you get an unbreakable helmet
If NOKIA made helmet.
😂
im no helmet engineer but maybe a hard shell with brittle exterior and padding on the inside, brittle exterior dissipates impact, hard shell blocks penetration, and padding absorbs shock.
""hi im buying a helmet, can you please break it to see if it works"
I just want to point out here before some people think that an tougher helmet is never useful. Safety equipment is generally designed for specific scenarios. Bike & Motorcycle helmets are designed for protecting your head from the ground, which is a wide, flat surface. Penetration by a physical object like the guy in the demonstration video is showing is a COMPLETELY different scenario. I can see how there could be specific work environments where there could be risk of falling, pointy objects, and in that case a much tougher helmet; that doesn't necessarily negate the risk of hemorrhaging, but instead is meant to protect you from a much more dangerous risk of a makeshift lawn dart going through your skull.
But again, that is NOT the same scenario as crashing on your motorcycle and slamming your head onto the ground.
This sounds absolutely crazy
In the army, you gotta wear combat helmets in lmtv. The back for troop transport 15+ people its completely normal
Seen people fall out, hit their heads, and not get back up
I can speak from experience. An acceleration/deceleration injury is fatal if you are not lucky. I am very lucky to be able to say this. My airbag stopped me rather immediately. You would think that was a good thing, but it's not speed that kills you. It's the sudden stop. I was very lucky that there were people working on their car at a house nearby so they responded quickly, kept my head still and made sure I kept breathing until EMS got there.
In Indonesia, which many people use fake helmet due to cheap price. Many fake helmet breaks during motorcycle accident and it killed many its user.
So hard shell helmet is good actually
These guys should work for the military
It's important it wont fall apart making you hit your head on a second impact. Most helmets are not that weak but it's important to note that the extreme opposite is not that good.
Even army helmets are intentionally not super solid.
When being hit with a bullet, this same effect took place and the brain inside was like a ringing bell.
Each head protection must have some amortisation of the hit, it doesn't have to break necesarily.
Top racing helmets should be a great example.
It’s called physics. It’s the exact same concept with automobiles. Objects that are meant to protect you from force need to absorb that force.
Same as car bumpers
the helmet: 👍
the head: 💀 💥
Saving lives with this
Imtesting ngl I hope you keep it up
Volvo engineers watching this ... "WAIT, whaaat ?! 😳" 😅
Unbreakable helmets good against bullets, but not in moments when you need to protect yourself from impact
So they're making the helmet equivalent of cyber trucks.
no 1 tagged yo ass 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Them netherite helmets go crazy
Yes just like shaking baby symptoms. 😊
breakable helmet: sacrifices itself for you
unbreakable helmet: sacrfiices you
It's the same reason why old cars are more durable than newer ones. The newer ones break easily and crumble up but have higher survivability. Old cars can take damage but a lot more people die when crashing
That "unbreakable helmet" sounds like a good idea. You definitely don't want a piece of rebar going through your skull. A breakable helmet might lighten the blow, but in the face of a piercing object your brain is dead. It just doesn't know it yet. )
oh, sure do hate it when my helmet suddenly goes flying into a piece of rebar conveniently placed in its path
But lets be real, the chance of random object piercing your skull is much much much lower then a chance of your head hitting the floor
This is total bullshit, you surely have a deathwish if you believe this idiocy. As someone already answered, the chance of having a piercing object in your path when falling from your bike is 100000x lower than the very real chance of hitting the ground (and having the unbreakable helmet smash you brain into pulp if you were so stupid to wear it instead of wearing a good quality, breakable, safe bike helmet)...
@@MaxLai_0104 They're talking about if the rider wrecks and flies into or falls onto a sharp object.
My guy, if the rebar is going through the helmet and your head, the force alone would probably kill you. That unbreakable stopping a piercing rebar won't matter much if the force of it still kills you.
Right when I'm about to buy a helmet, this vid pops up
It's the exact same reason why old cars used to be fine when crashing, but now they crumple.
My helmet ✅
My head 💀
Guys like this will remove the most important features of items thinking they are making them better and then flood the market with cheap products. Then people will wonder why the stuff they have doesn't work right.
An extremely strong helmet is like an extremely strong airbag.
This is the reason why cars have “crumple zones” in the front, which are much weaker and are meant to break off
Another note, never buy a helmet second hand. Also never wear a helmet that has been previously dropped. Its not worth the potential risk as the padding underneath the shell could be compromised without showing external damage.
The tank build with low recovery vs the lightweight build with fast recovery
Helmets such as this for cycling are MEANT to break when an impact is made, the helmet supposed to be able to break so it can absorb all the shock so your brain doesn't, if doesn't break then it will more than likely just allow those shockwaves to travel straight to your head and give you a concussion, or worse.
But he said these are motorcycle helmets
If a steel bar hits me... I would rather have a helmet that doesn't break
That shit straight up level 3 military helmet
this reminds me of when I heard that the front part of a car is meant to get wrecked in a crash, because it's more safer on the driver
Imagine missing the pole and you hit your wrist on the bar 💀
Not a problem as long the padding inside not so thin to absorb huge impact. Unbreakable helmet that dangerous is when inside really don't have padding or very thin one.
And people called me a moron for wearing my patented styrofoam helmet when I ride
These look like they'd make good substitutes for hard hats.
Hard hats are much similar to the helmet for motorcycles minus the soft padding on the inside so no, don't use this in construction work
They skipped physics class💀💀💀
The optimal helmet is something that breaks on the inside for shock absorption but it's shell doesn't shatter but just cracks
