my point i was trying to get across
we want the helmet to flex to a point to absorb the impact
and not fail,,,,,
if put on enough paint,,,,then the wrong paint,,,less flex
barsal/newton test will change results
thus making disclaimer legal,,,,,,,,,,,

we buy good racing helmets for the strength
and the lightness on our necks
paint is paper thin cause we dont want the extra weight
when conducting a test,,,you always test with odds in your favor,,,,,,,,,,
