Bicycle helmets are designed to protect riders from collisions with terrain at normal cycling speeds (in fact, less than that; helmet tests are done with a speed of about 14 miles per hour [0]). Cyclists who are hit by traffic are likely to be hit much, much harder than that. Therefore the effect of the helmet is more or less entirely untested, and manufacturers have no incentive to design helmets for that scenario. [0] https://helmets.org/limits.htm |
