A suitable material for a crash helmet is polycarbonate, known for its high impact resistance and lightweight properties. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam is often used for the inner lining, as it effectively absorbs shock during impacts. Additionally, composite materials such as fiberglass or Kevlar can enhance strength and durability. These materials together provide optimal protection while maintaining comfort and usability.
A helmet is a riding garment. It protects the rider in case of a fall or a crash.
If you mean "can you survive a 75mph crash without a helmet", I would say it is highly unlikely. You would definitely break some bones whether you survive or not. The only way to survive such a crash would be by wearing all the recommended safety and protection equipment.
No why would you buy a new helmet every time you crash. If it is cracked then you should get a new helmet. I have had at least 11 crashes w/ my Bad Lieutenant from Giro and I've had it for about 2-3 years.
You are not required by law to wear a crash helmet in Florida however i would highly recommend that you do! Florida does not require a helmet while driving a motorcycle. http://www.edgarsnyder.com/auto-accident/motorcycle-accident/helmetlaws/florida.html
Putting your helmet on backwards can impair your vision and affect the protection it offers in case of a fall or impact. It is important to always wear your helmet correctly to ensure your safety while engaging in activities like biking or skating.
A coconut shell can absorb more impact than the average crash helmet--actually 20% more impact can be applied on the coconut shell and the damage to both would equal out. The shell could absorb more kinetic energy and/or force.

Goliath's helmet, as described in the biblical account in 1 Samuel 17, was made of bronze. While the text does not specify a color for the helmet, bronze typically has a metallic, golden-brown appearance. Therefore, one can infer that Goliath's helmet would have had a bronze-like color, reflecting the properties of the material used.
Higher because they will see it as you are more of a health liability because you don't wear your helmet, thus more head trauma is likely in the event of a crash, than if you do wear a helmet, where less head trauma is likely. The less head trauma, the less medical expenses they will have to pay, so the less you will have to pay.
If a biker was to come off his motorbike, the last thing he'd want would be for his skull to hit the same material as the exterior of the helmet. Without this lining the helmet is abit pointless. The lining acts as a sponge between the skull and the helmet. On impact alot of the energy, exerted by the ground or object which hits the helmet, is dissapated by the inner lining and cushion inside the helmet. It helps keep the head intact for the wake.
Socks are usually knitted from cotton or wool yarns, depending on the purpose.
