Does anyone know about how much it cost to install the restraint buckles onto a helmet?

security racing used to have this price on their site. Don't think it's there anymore. Seems to be very cheap, about what shipping your helmet might cost?
They can send you directions & D-rings if you have a drill, pop rivet gun and average aptitude- do it yourself job.
Give them a call for price.

Since I posted that question, I've learned what a simple modification it is... I do think I'll try to find a better way than to rivet the D- rings on, don't like pop-rivets.... Thanks for the reply Techno....

We did our own, small hole drilled in the helmet and the Lifeline we got had the attaching bolt and nylon lock nut with it. It was pretty easy.

I called Security Race Products when I got mine from them and talked to them about bolting the D-Rings rather than the small pop rivets they sent me. They said "No, No, No" They are intended to slow your head movement to "a point" if the accident is violent enough they are intended to break loose. By that time it has restricted the movement of your head the way it was intended. You can check with them yourself, but that's what they told me.

I never thought about it like that, but I guess they've seen actual before and after situations... I would have thought the fact of the way it attaches under your arms, will the movement of your outer flesh would eliminate any sudden, traumatic stops... Hmmm? When I was a kid I also wouldn't listen when someone told me that a trash bag had only a minimal benefit when jumping off a roof:).... I appreciate all of you guys (Fl.Boy in Il. ,,, Balzy, Techno )for hollerin' back;) ...

You did the garbage bag thing? I did the bed sheet thing. Two corners stuck in my tennis shoes and the other two in my hands. Of the 10' retaining wall I went. Belly and face first right into the lawn. The two corners came out of my shoes and my buddy looked at me laying on the ground and says "maybe this time you should tie it to your ankles. As I spit out the grass and dirt from my mouth I say something " F#$% You, It's your turn now" Those were the days LOL

My computer has been down for a while, and I'm just now reading your reply!! It's amazing young boys make it past puberty:p I sit back and reminisce sometimes about some of the things that me and my friends used to do, and it makes me really appreciate having all my limbs and digets still function!! Reading your reply makes me realize that I wasn't the only "immortal" to walk this land!!:D In my adulthood, I don't remember what the fascination was with the roof top but the appeal was certainly there... To this day people still laugh at me for accepting the dare to ride my Huffy off the roof--- I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS- RESULTS ARE LESS THAN SATISFACTORY... Ah, to think of what used to be..... BTW, no matter how bad it hurt you, your friend still remembers who the pimp really is...:cool:

Boys aren't the only ones...


I jumped off the roof, thinking "10 feet isn't really that far down..."

I jumped gracefully and landed on my feet, just as planned.

But then the rest of my body caught up and I impacted my chin into my knee cap!

OUCH!

I'm real lucky I didn't powerderize all my teeth when my jaw slammed shut. :rolleyes: :eek: :D
