I'm assuming they are built to the standard. If it's an EN 1078 standard helmet, then in the requirement is the for the velocity of impact is "Europe: Requires velocity sensor within 60 mm of impact accurate to 1 per cent. Velocity of headform must be equivalent to a drop height of 1.49 to 1.51 m. "Cycle helmets are designed and tested to offer some protection in low speed impacts.

I assume that you mean that a standard cycle helmet is no good at all at speeds of 25mph? How do you know if they are not tested under those conditions?

They might. They would also increase their exposure to being sued, so they might decide not market them that wayWhy do you think helmets aren't tested at higher speeds? Don't you think the manufacturers would jump at the chance to market them as a major contribution to cycling safety if they could?

Me too, but I always land on my bum. Can't wear a helmet on your bum, though OH has suggested kevlar trousers (seriously) since we both gt nasty leg grazes when we had crashes.I've fallen off my bike far more often while it's stationary than I ever have while it's moving
