00:00A lot of people are asking me to wear a helmet while driving, but do you know how to wear a helmet to be safe?
00:07Or do you know how to wear a certification helmet to be safe?
00:11This video is all about awareness.
00:15I'm your Palvin, welcome to VICE PAKTAMIL. Let's get into the video.
00:22A lot of people are asking me which helmet to wear to be safe.
00:28A lot of people are wearing construction helmets, plastic helmets, half-face helmets, jet-face helmets, modular helmets, full-face helmets.
00:46There are a lot of types of helmets available in the market, but for me, a full-face helmet is the safest helmet.
00:55A full-face helmet will be completely covered from the back.
01:05It won't even touch you because there is a gap between the helmet and your face.
01:09It also depends on what type of helmets you use to be safe.
01:14If you ask me to wear a full-face helmet to be safe, it's definitely a question mark.
01:19Some of you might ask, why aren't modular helmets safe?
01:23Or why aren't half-face helmets safe?
01:26Of course, they are safe, but the impact resistance is only 40%.
01:36But if you use a full-face helmet, you are almost 69% safe from helmet injury at the time of death.
01:45That's one of the major reasons why a full-face helmet is safe for you.
01:51Because when you wear a modular helmet, in case of a joint injury, there is a chance of a certain impact on the clips.
02:02It also depends on the force and speed you are using.
02:06So, that's why a full-face helmet is not safe for you.
02:10Because 69% of your survival rate is in the full-face helmet.
02:16But in a modular helmet, the survival rate is reduced.
02:20So, that's why I recommend you to use a full-face helmet.
02:23Another thing is, there are many things in a full-face helmet.
02:27For example, what kind of material they use to make the shell.
02:29They use thermoset plastic, acrylic plastic, polycarbonate shell, Kevlar shell, carbon fiber shell, and even composite fiber.
02:43So, they use a lot of materials to make the shell.
02:48So, which material is safe to use in a full-face helmet?
02:52Right from the year 2000 to the year 2000, most of the brands use polycarbonate.
02:58They used to use fiberglass before, but now they use polycarbonate with a mixture of a few components.
03:04Because it is one of the strongest shell.
03:08It is also very low in price range.
03:10So, many people use polycarbonate in that area.
03:14Now you may ask, why is carbon fiber so strong?
03:17Of course, carbon fiber and Kevlar fiber are both strong.
03:20But when it comes to price range, they are very expensive.
03:25So, polycarbonate is very affordable.
03:29It is easily available in the market.
03:33That's why most brands use polycarbonate from the starting range to this range.
03:40Now you may have some questions.
03:42Now many brands give carbon fiber within the normal range of 20,000.
03:46Of course, they do.
03:48If you ask if it is 100% carbon fiber, I can only say that it is not.
03:52Polycarbonate and fiberglass are a layer-based shell.
04:00That's why it is heavy and strong.
04:05I don't have anything in that, but it is heavy.
04:07That's why they can bring it to that price range.
04:11If you look at a pure form of carbon fiber, it is the strongest fiber in the world and also the lightest fiber in the world.
04:18It is very expensive.
04:21For example, AGV, Pista, GPR, MT, Kbyte, Shoei, Shark, X-Lite, they all cost more than 1 lakh.
04:40They cost more than 80,000.
04:44Because it is in such a thin layer and all the layers are pure carbon fiber.
04:51They have not mixed any other material.
04:53That's why it is so expensive.
04:55There is a thing about the technologies, foam, EPS, etc.
05:00Most of them use this like a cap.
05:03I am in Bangalore now.
05:05When I go to Bangalore, many people wear this like a husband and wife child.
05:09You can get it in low plastic from 150 to 1000 rupees.
05:17But if you ask for safety, it is a question mark.
05:21It is not clean.
05:25It is easy to break.
05:27It doesn't break that easily.
05:29It depends on how much impact it has on your head.
05:33That's one thing.
05:35But they are very cheap in price range.
05:39For me, life is a big thing.
05:43Will your life cost only 150 rupees?
05:45No, it will only cost this much.
05:47You are doing this.
05:49We can think that nothing will happen to us.
05:51But we can't say.
05:53It is still a finger cross.
05:55Some unexpected events will happen.
05:57If you wear this for safety, the survival rate will be 60-70%.
06:05That's why we are doing this video.
06:09Avoid this.
06:13You can use polycarbonate now.
06:17Many brands are doing this.
06:19For example, AXR.
06:21SMK started with polycarbonate.
06:25SMK is affordable from 3000 range.
06:29AXR, MT, LH2, K-weight are coming.
06:39You can use it like that.
06:41This is polycarbonate.
06:43Carbon fiber and Kevlar fiber are strong.
06:47But there is composite fiber.
06:49A mixture of fibers.
06:51Carbon fiber, Kevlar fiber and glass fiber.
06:53These three are mixed.
06:55It is one of the strongest materials.
06:57But there is carbon fiber.
06:59There is glass fiber.
07:01It is a mixture of multiple fibers.
07:03It is called composite fiber.
07:05There are many brands in that area.
07:07In an affordable range, there is a brand called T-Brand.
07:13Many brands are doing this.
07:15There is one in MT.
07:17There are many brands.
07:19It is a composite fiber.
07:21For example, SMK or AXR.
07:25It is called carbon fiber.
07:27The outer layer is carbon fiber.
07:31The inner layer is polycarbonate.
07:33For example, SMK or AXR.
07:35It is an affordable carbon fiber.
07:37It is a composite fiber.
07:39The top layer is carbon fiber.
07:41The second layer is polycarbonate.
07:47These are the materials.
07:49If you are bored with the budget,
07:51you can look at polycarbonate.
07:53For me, safety is very important.
07:55I don't look at the price.
07:57There are many safety devices.
07:59You can choose and buy.
08:01Next,
08:03EPS
08:05and MIPS
08:07There are two technologies.
08:09EPS is
08:11like a foam in a helmet.
08:13Many of you have seen it.
08:15It is a breakable form.
08:21There is a certain impact.
08:23It is like a cushion.
08:25It is a cushion for the head.
08:27It is a cushion for the head.
08:29It is a cushion for the head.
08:33It is in a thick layer.
08:35It is at least 1-inch.
08:37It is a safety protection shell.
08:39It is a safety protection shell.
08:41What is EPS?
08:43EPS is a type of polystyrene which is used to give a certain amount of pressure to a material to make it hard to work with.
08:55EPS stands for Expanded Polystyrene and Styrofoam.
09:04Styrofoam is not available in the market in a lot of quality but all major brands use good quality EPS.
09:16MIPS is a type of polystyrene which is used to give a certain amount of pressure to a material to make it hard to work with.
09:26MIPS is a type of polystyrene which is used to give a certain amount of pressure to a material to make it hard to work with.
09:36MIPS is a type of polystyrene which is used to give a certain amount of pressure to a material to make it hard to work with.
09:46MIPS is a type of polystyrene which is used to give a certain amount of pressure to a material to make it hard to work with.
09:56MIPS is a type of polystyrene which is used to give a certain amount of pressure to a material to make it hard to work with.
10:04MIPS is a type of polystyrene which is used to give a certain amount of pressure to a material to make it hard to work with.
10:14MIPS is a type of polystyrene which is used to give a certain amount of pressure to a material to make it hard to work with.
10:24Now, let's talk about the certification.
10:28Now, let's talk about the certification.
10:34In India, there is a certification called ISI.
10:39In other international brands, there are certifications called Dot, ECE, Snell, Sharp, and FIM.
10:44In other international brands, there are certifications called Dot, ECE, Snell, Sharp, and FIM.
10:49Before you get a certification, you need to go through 11 levels of testing.
10:53Before you get a certification, you need to go through 11 levels of testing.
10:571. Impact absorption
10:592. Penetration resistance
11:013. Retention system
11:034. Visor attachment
11:055. Peripheral vision
11:076. Absorption resistance
11:097. Rigorous impact system
11:118. Rotational acceleration testing
11:139. Material properties
11:1510. Rigorous impact system
11:17They do a PINOD testing based on the various system of RIGUIDO
11:22This PINOD testing is done for each certification and each set of testing
11:26First is DOT, which is a US Standard Certification
11:34But overall they do only 4 tests
11:37Impact Observation, Penetration Resistant, Retention System and Visor
11:44This DOT certification is very easy to get
11:49They will go to the government and the brand
11:55The brand will do the testing and give the reports to the government
12:01Then the government will give the certifications
12:04ECE has a new number, 22.06
12:09Before it was 0.05 and now it is 0.06
12:12They have built this for European Standards
12:16They do 7 types of testing
12:22Impact Observation, Penetration Resistant, Retention System, Visor, Visor Attachment, Peripheral Vision, Observation Resistance
12:36They do a lot of testing based on the various system of RIGUIDO
12:43Only after the certification is done, they will approve the ECE
12:48I will tell you how the ECE will be approved
12:50The government will give the ECE to the government
12:53The government will give the ECE to the private labs
13:01The private labs will approve the ECE and give it to the brand
13:09After the ECE is given to the brand, the ECE will be approved
13:15SHARP is a certification from the UK Department of Transport
13:21DFT is a certification from the UK Department of Transport
13:28They do linear impact test, oblique impact test, head form size, sample size test
13:43This certification is from the government to the brands
13:48They will give the ECE to the private labs
13:52They will approve the ECE to the brands
13:59This is SHARP
14:01Next is FIM
14:04Many of you may not know about FIM
14:07FIM is a certification from FIM Racing, Homologation, Programming
14:14Especially in the MotoGP race
14:17Only if you have a FIM certified helmet, you can participate in the MotoGP
14:23All the brands have it
14:25You can participate in the MotoGP
14:28FIM is a race oriented certification
14:30FIM is a race oriented certification
14:35FIM is a race oriented certification
14:40FIM is a race oriented certification
14:43FIM is a race oriented certification
14:49FIM is a race oriented certification
14:54The test can only be done after the official account is verified
15:01The certification will be delivered to the brands after they prove the facility
15:06The Certification can be delivered only if the brands prove what they promote
15:16Next is SNELL
15:20SNELL is an NGO based戦機 switch company
15:23This company is like a foundation
15:25They are doing a 100 level test before giving the certification
15:31This Snell Helmets again
15:33You can see how safe it is after the testing
15:37This is a NGA based company
15:42They do the testing and give the certification to Snell Labs
15:48This is available in many brands
15:51This is a premium category
15:54Again this has an anvil
15:56This is an anvil
15:58They do the testing in multiple weights and points
16:02Next is ISI
16:05Bureau of India
16:08They give the certification
16:10Next is ISI
16:12Only if you have this certification, you can sell these helmets in India
16:17Only if you have the ISI certification, you can sell these helmets in India
16:22The ISI is done by the Bureau of Indian Standards
16:29Again you need 7 certifications to get the approval
16:38But there is one thing
16:40I don't know what to say
16:43All brands do the testing in a private lab
16:48Here, manufacturers do the testing with anvil
16:53They get the approval from the government
16:56They don't have a private lab for ISI
17:02There are third party agencies
17:05But I don't know how safe they are
17:11So if you ask me if the ISI helmets are safe
17:18Again this is a big question mark
17:21Because a brand does the testing
17:24But if you have the ISI certification and you can sell them in India
17:29Of course you can use the helmet
17:33Because it is easy
17:36My personal opinion is
17:38If you use helmets approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards
17:42It will be safe
17:44In India, only if you have the ISI certification, you can sell the helmets
17:48If you have the ISI certification, you can buy the helmets
17:54This is a big thing
17:58I don't know if many people know about this
