I know a lot of guys around here dont give a fuck about this because of a previous post on simpson helmets but heres some info you may want to know.
If you are involved in an accident and you are found to be wearing a helmet that is not standards approved the insurance company has the right to waver your claim.
If you are wearing a helmet that is not standards approved and you have an accident and you have injured yourself/or your passenger is injured and found to be wearing one your green slip will not cover them.
Dont ask me how they can get away with this but i suppose that its just another way of getting out of paying out for a claim.
