Annoyingly, if you hillclimb, MUK (the artist formerly known as the MSA) demands a FIA spec helmet ..... any bike shop will provide a quality helmet (nicely graphiced) to ACU gold standard that will allow you to bike race and fall off unprotected at 150 mph and rattle your head up the road ..... to hillclimb your car strapped into a full certified roll cage with a six point harness you need the FIA spec helmet at three times the cost (and no graphics just plain at that price) ..... go figure?



A mate of mine killed himself in 1985 at age 21. He hit a car at 3 times the speed limit. Unfortunately he split the car in two and killed a 9 year old kid in the back seat as well. Bike, mates body less his head and the 9 year old all in the back half of the car. The helmet with head still inside was found 100 metres up the road.
