When a rider crashes and hits their head, a standard helmet is meant to deform and absorb one blunt force hit, or linear impact, almost like if you dropped out of the sky like a lawn dart and stuck right where you landed
The primary objective of modern helmet design is to protect athletes from brain injury
Multiple layers of fiberglass, along with a dual-layer, multi-density EPS liner are engineered to deliver protection during impact, and the exclusive Max-Dry interior material absorbs and dispels sweat two times faster than conventional nylon interiors
For Carbons EPX-82 epoxy material, the material science data sheet (MSDS) notes: Collect and reclaim or dispose in sealed containers at licensed waste disposal site
