[QUOTE="holyroller1, post: 169978, member: 23836"] Roadrash It is not ludicrous. The same amount of energy will be exerted with a closing speed of people of 40 MPH as with 1 person hitting a wall at 40. However, the individual with the lesser mass or lesser velocity will receive more of the impact. Think about a smaller person being hit by someone much bigger if both are traveling at the same velocity. The smaller individual not only comes to a complete stop but begins to travel in the opposite direction therefore absorbing more impact than that of just hitting a wall and stopping. In such a case if the closing speed was 30 MPH the smaller person will take more of an impact than if he were to just run into a wall at 30 MPH. Besides most of the guys in the NFL are walls:scream: :) To say the impact is not comparable is ludicrous. The forces exerted during a collision in the NFL are remarkable, something you really have to be close to to understand I guess. You can feel the ground shake as they make hits and such. You haven't watched much football have you? Many many times one player gives and the other keeps going on through that poor idividual:eek:. Which is worse than just not moving. I do understand the point of companies not wanting to make their product indestructible. However I would think there would be a happy medium. Dropping a helmet from a distance of more than 4-5 feet should not, IMO, cause damage that would be detrimental to the integrity of the helmet. [/QUOTE]
