Don't question the scientific-ness that is GMM. Everything they do here is 200% scientifically proven and factual, and your opinion is not solicited when you walk among these gods of science.
just one suggestion...Rhett was basically aiming at one spot where Link was doing a circle motion. Thats why Rhetts helmets got more burnt and steaks were cooked.
Although I know this is just supposed to be for the laughs and whatnot but FYI for people watching the video, the more the helmet gets crushed, the safer it probably is. It's actually because the helmet absorbs the chock rather than your skull. The same logic applies to cars these days where they are very easy to get completely crushed in an accident whereas back in the day the frames of cars were much more solid but were also less safe. Ride safe!
That works in cars because the internal cage where the passengers are located stays intact while the outside absorbs the impact. That clearly isn't the case here.
the crush test is counterintuitive the abus might look more intact but thats not what you want when u crash when you crash its better for the helmet to crumple up to decrease the forces ur head recieve
Y do people wear stupid helmets then yell at me saying oh thats to dangerous U should be wearing helmet your going to hurt your self (including random strangers )
Cotton Candy Randy is actually a demonic spirit, who occasionally returns from his throne in the underworld to torment the living. He happened to use Paul as a conduit.
Brynn Roemer hey man if your buying a helmet i would definitely suggest going to your local bike shop instead of walmart etc because the employees there know what they’re talking about and they will always point you to the right equipment:)
Kohlton Miller thanks for stating an example of how stupid and unneeded helmets are. Whats next were going to have to wear a pillow on stomache so we don't hurt our stomaches.
Stick with a name brand and it should be fine. Just because many of these helmets broke easily doesn't mean they're bad. That's what they're designed to do, they absorb the shock so it doesn't get transferred to your head.
My husband wore a bell helmet when he was knocked off his bike and a van drove up his chest, over his face and head. Doctors said if wasn’t wearing his backpack with change of clothes in and helmet he wouldn’t be here. So we bought all the family Bell brand after we had proof it did it’s job :)
Matthew Daltrey I remember hearing that the if the helmet broke it was better at protecting you. The impact force is absorbed by the helmet and not you if it breaks.
didn't he say there are a few exceptions? I think he'll get rid all of the silly, 'childish' ones but keep cool ones like the one he's wearing now (because honestly, I want to snatch that shirt)
Totally agree, I feel like they could have, and maybe should have, done a better job of disclaiming their 'testing' as being for entertainment purposes only. But I guess you are better off wearing any of these helmets as opposed to not having one at all during an accident. As even the least of them offers better protection that nothing.
Jari Biscotti Films 👋🏼 I just wanna say that after reading almost every single comment and just thinking through possible interpretations, I think that the video was supposed to be funny because it was sooo unscientific.
Your skull isn't as easily broken as eggs, but imagine if they were. Then you could say the one was disqualified was the one that could crack your actual skull the easiest.
Hey thanks kind person, for sharing that lil tid bit about coconuts🥥. I had no clue that was true, I’m curious to hear where/how’d ya learned that in the first place?
LOVE THE FJ CRUISER!!! I’m lifting mine tomorrow I saw it early in the video and couldn’t believe when you used it to crush the helmets. So cool and mad respect
Blue Waffle Yes. If it’s too hard, the pressure/momentum would just impact the head more. If the helmet takes all the pressure and breaks, the amount of impact on the head is reduced.
The helmet that held up the best on these tests was the hardest one, if you fall off your bike and hit your head, you want a softer impact, so don't go buying the hardest helmet.
Not true, you want a hard and brittle helmet that will break upon impact. Breaking into many pieces causes momentum to be transferred thus decreasing the impulse on your head giving you a smaller chance of an injury to the head.
@@cooperthurman But is not rare, it's rather usual actually, for the head to receive multiple impacts on an accident. You don't want the helmet to break in pieces at the first hit. Also, what if you drop it?. Deformation being better than fragmentation still holds up.
In the world of cycling helmets, $80 is borderline low-tier (though Giro does make very good helmets). A solid middle-of-the-road helmet would be about $150, and the really high-end helmets like Kask and Oakley that pros use can be $200-300, or even more in some cases. And there are notable differences in build quality between them. Not to mention time trial helmets, which can be easily $500+.
Plot twist: The helmets are designed to break so they take most of the energy out of the impact. If they didn't your head would do that and crack. Funny though!
Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't it be the purpose of helmet to fall apart during impact so it absorbs some of the energy? Like when someone fails to break a plank, it hits back.
I like this. I would have liked to see a comfort test though. Perhaps putting them on a clay head, and seeing which one leaves the most/deepest impressions on the surface.
*Rhett and Link get into the car* me: this is peaceful...nothing bad happened......yet *Rhett and Link run over the helmets* me: there it is always a little peace than destruction😊
I like how scientific this is
This is the most scientific thing ever done by anyone.
So scientific. Link was holding the heater twice as far away from the helmet than Rhett.
@@camtron and moving them, so the heat was spread out
This is as far away from being scientific as something could possibly get.
Will Castillo that is the joke
Rhett did concentrate the heat way more, so no wonder his steaks were cooked more xD
