Wow...... There is no way I'm not going to wear a full face
helmet. Sorry. If this becomes a rule, I fully expect an exception to
allow us to disable or remove the air bag wheels in stock class cars.
First, I know of NOBODY who's been hurt with an airbag deployment while
autoxing. Second, the newest airbags are second-genetation and deploy with
less force than the first (which haven't been an issue). Third, people get
broken noses from airbags, I'd rather have that force spread out over a
chin bar and dissapated over a larger area than not. Fourth, a properly
fitting helmet should not rock back on the head enough to hit your
chin. If it does it didn't fit right in the first place. Either too
loose, insecurely fastened, or the chin bar was way to close to begin with.
Love it.... US Congress comes to SCCA.
