    We found no correlation between price and protection, with the highest-performing helmet being one of the less expensive, retailing at around £50.

    What a scam. I’ll bet the same thing happens with motorcycle helmets.

      In the US, motorcycle helmets are held to a DOT specification, which are okay standards. Buy when talking about brain cases, DOT spec is kinda minimal acceptable designs. Snell certification is an additional, more rigorous set of standards, and in my experience, those helmets are generally more expensive and, in my experience, a better helmet to wear and use.
