OFF THE WIRE
Every year NHTSA does random testing of motorcycle helmets. They use to
test to close to 300 but because the failure rate was so high, they
greatly reduced the number of helmets they test. And recalled helmets
were generally published. When was the last time you saw a helmet
recall as ordered by NHTSA (not the manufacturer). What I have is from
2008, but you can run your own reports from NHTSA
