Helmet Safety Standards - Explaining the New Snell SA2010 Helmet Rating - Circle Track Magazine
Almost two years ago, the Snell Foundation began working on a new standard for motorsports helmets. Known as SA2010, the standard has a number of significant changes from SA2005. Far and away the biggest change relates to how the helmets are tested for impact and subsequently passed/rejected by the foundation. That effectively means that the new SA2010 is incompatible with the established SA2005. Given that incompatibility, it's entirely possible that your SA2005-labeled helmet may not meet the new standard. Depending on the rules of your chosen series, sanction, or track you may have to buy a new helmet.
