LOL. Sreten was far too sensible to make so foolish a statement.

OP, it is true to say that all helmets sold have to have been tested against certain minimum standards. That does not mean, however, that they are all equal - clealry, it is possible that some exceed those minimum standards. Some (including specialized) meet more stringent Snell testing standards, you can google for it. How good any of them are at protecting you is another matter, exhaustively explored in the helmet thread in the advocacy and safety forum.
