I remember a readers letter in the UK's Motorcycle News,regarding the flip-up style helmets.
He was a paramedic and said that at all the motorcycle accidents he had attended,the riders with flip-up helmets came worse of with facial and head injuries than riders with full face helmets.
He said he knew they were tested to an acceptable limit but from what I remember,he said 3 out of 5 helmets failed and the riders face had been damaged.
