Oui, mais pour les coups de boule, c'est quand même mieux
Sinon, vu comment les gens le portent à Ha Noi, ca va faire des dégâts, en plus beaucoup sont de très mauvaise qualité, sans parler des casques beaucoup trop petits. Avec un accident ce sera vraiment une greffe de casque !
Tu m'étonnes ils vendent n'importe quoi les Viets donc les gens achetent n'
importe quoi...A partir 1 euro 50 le casque...
Helmet related deaths pose questions17:38' 08/01/2008 (GMT+7) VietNamNet Bridge – Doctors have reported deaths caused by improperly wearing helmets. This is attributable to Vietnam not having standards on how helmets are worn, mostly because this is a new issue and it depends on helmet producers’ design.
Doctors at the Hanoi-based Vietnam – Germany Hospital reported traffic accidents in which the victims died or were paralyzed because they fastened neck straps incorrectly.
Dr. Dong Van Hue from the Vietnam-Germany Hospital warned that fastening straps incorrectly might cause trachea and gullet injuries, as well as the cutting of the carotid artery when riders drive their motorbikes at high speeds. He said motorbike drivers should wear their helmets correctly and need to tightly fasten chin straps. However, several helmet types don’t have the rubber pads that secure helmets to the chin, so users have to fasten straps under their neck.
Nguyen Manh Am, Director of the Standards and Quality Measurement Agency No. 1, said there is no document saying fastening straps on the neck can more easily cause injuries than under the chin, and vice versa. He suggested research to that end.
In Vietnam, straps are tested for elasticity only. Le Dinh Tung from the Scientific Services and Consulting Company under the Ministry of Science and Technology, said in western countries, motorbike drivers often fasten straps under their neck because the strap is wide and soft, and Vietnam should pay attention to this factor.
Pho Duc Son, Deputy Director of the Standards and Quality Center, where helmet standards are set, said this is the first time he heard that fastening straps under the neck may cause injuries. He said the center will collect more information about this. If there is scientific evidence, the center will change their helmet standards.
The information also surprised helmet producers. When asked “Is the Amoro helmet strap fastened under the chin or neck?” Nguyen Thanh Binh, Assistant Director of Amoro Vietnam Co, Ltd said: “Our company hasn’t considered this issue yet. It is too new. We will research and seek information.” He also said that Amoro hasn’t received questions from customers about how to wear their helmets.
Protect helmets have a strap that fastens under the neck. Hoang Anh, Marketing Manager of Protect Vietnam, said they have made contact with the design and testing division in the US to check whether fastening the strap under the neck is correct or not, and the company will work with doctors to re-check cases where victims died from helmet strap related injuries. The firm will change the design if need be.
While Vietnam has yet to develop helmet wearing standards, managers urged users to perform the following instructions: if the strap has a rubber pad, it must be fastened under the chin; otherwise it should be fastened under the neck. Wherever the strap is fastened, it must be tight and secure.
