Here’s an interview with one of the founders if 6D. He does a good job of explaining the different certifications and the tradeoffs of meeting certification requirements. Applies to all helmets, not just 6D. There are some other good videos that describe the 22.06 cert and what is involved with that. I agree they probably didn’t see the need of supporting FIM testing if they were not supporting racing in europe. Be interested to know if they plan to, or if they plan to have an updated version for 22.06. I want to get a flat black helmet. Was leaning towards a Bell Race Star Flex DLX, but may have to see how the RPHA 1 fits. At least research it a bit more. Or maybe one of the new Arai helmets. Decisions…
Just ran across this rules change for 2022 WSBK. Collecting data for future certification requirements. Helmet analysis after a crash or a head injury It was found essential to permit the expert technical examination of helmets post incident to formally declare, as necessary, the helmets unusable with the appropriate recording of this information and also to facilitate the ongoing FIM Helmet Project. The helmets of all riders taken to the medical centre for assessment following a crash must be retained by the medical personnel or CMO for control by the Technical Director or Technical Stewards before being returned to the rider or the team manager. In the event of head trauma, including concussion, the SBK Commission agreed to facilitate further development of the FRHP programme and to allow the development of the next FIM FRHPhe-02 standards for helmets for 2025. The helmet will be sent to the FIM Laboratory at the University of Zaragoza for an expert examination and a non-destructive analysis. The Helmet manufacturer will be allowed to attend this analysis. After inspection, the helmet can be returned to the rider, the team or the manufacturer.
