Ever wonder how your bicycle helmet (or one similar…) is made?

I was actually quite surprised at the amount of manual labor that goes into creating the helmets.

The stress testing of the helmets was pretty rudimentary though. I was positive they did more to test the helmets, but apparently not much more. Check out the U.S. CPSC lab used for testing the helmets.

While we’re on the topic of helmets, make sure to do a quick check for your helmet in the list of recalls. You definitely don’t want to be wearing a defective helmet.
