	Motorcycle helmet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This confusion is relieved by understanding that the perpendicular impact speed of the helmet is usually not the same as the road speed of the motor cycle and that the severity of the impact is determined not only by the speed of the head but also by the nature of the surface it hits.
		Such helmets have an open cutout in a band across the eyes and nose, with a plastic face shield (which may be clear or tinted) that generally swivels up and down to allow access to the face.
		Such helmets are often smaller and lighter than DOT-approved helmets, and are unsuitable for crash protection because they lack the energy-absorbing foam that protects the brain by allowing it to come to a gradual stop during an impact.

	Helmet Law
		Although the Tennessee Legislature may believe that they can authorize the "commissioner of safety" to approve or disapprove helmets, the commissioner of safety is confined, by law, to adopting only those standards established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
		If the commissioner of safety has adopted FMVSS 218, which the law insists that he ultimately must, the Tennessee helmet law is thereby rendered unconstitutionally vague and can be challenged on that basis, and removed.
		The Helmet Law Defense League is looking for a volunteer from Tennessee who knows the history of the helmet law in Tennessee (going back at least 15 years) to write that history down in article form and get it to us so we can post it here.
