There were several articles in motorcycle magazines condemning the
visor on these helmets which was blamed on several motorcycle racers
having broken their necks in crashes. Now we have nearly every bike
helmet having a visor like forward projection. It makes one wonder
whether "style"enters into helmet design :-)

Isn't it obvious that style enters into helmet design? Look how
beautiful they are!

So many people wear them everywhere just because of their dashing good
looks. I've seen them jauntily worn at symphony concerts, art museums,
night clubs and more. If they'd existed in Abe Lincoln's time, I'm
sure he'd have traded in his top hat!

If it saves just one beaver ...


Heh-heh.

What does top hats have to do with beavers?


Top hats used to be made from felt which in turn was made from beaver pelts which in turn largely drove the North American fur trade.



Long long ago. After John Jacob Aster we created the China
trade and opera hats were silk.

Seriously? Top hats are made from beavers.


Were made from beaver fur.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_hat

Excerpt: "A beaver hat is a hat made from felted beaver fur. They were fashionable across much of Europe during the period 1550–1850 because the soft yet resilient material could be easily combed to make a variety of hat shapes (including the familiar top hat).[1]"

Yes, as Sir states, felt made from beaver pelts. The trade in beaver
pelts and dried, salt cod from the Grand Banks was, perhaps, the major
driving force for the early colonization of N. America, particularly
the French settlements in what is now Canada.

Just the thing if you've always an umbrella, or a servant with an
umbrella, about you.

Mr. Lincoln didn't save his hat for the evening though, he wore it to
the office, and kept papers in it for quick reference. The Lincoln
library has a beaver hat they claim was his, but perhaps not:

And it seems the beaver top hat is still available, for a mere $850:

Though I hate to support Frank, the major cause of motor vehicle deaths is traumatic head injuries. Since these compose about 350 times the numbers of deaths than bicyclists why do we not demand mandatory helmet laws in motor vehicles?

I wouldn't buy it if it isn't CPSC certified. Look inside for the magic
sticker!

I see Chinese made helmets, without the little sticker, on sale here
for about 10 dollars each and examining them they seem to be made the
same as a $250 U.S. made helmet. Styrofoam and a cheap plastic shell.
Granted that there may be an unseen difference but still...

It makes me wonder how much it costs to put that sticker on a helmet?

My $22 Chinese helmet has the CPSC sticker in it. I do not believe that you actually have to have your helmet tested by the group but need only claim so. As far as I can tell, this is built BETTER than my Bell or my Bontrager Solstice helmets. It certainly fits a hell of a lot better. The Bontrager does not even have a CPSC sticker in it. It isn't as if this is NASA engineering.
