DiscountHelmetFactory.com – Motorcycle Crashes – History of the Motorcycle Helmets… The history of the motorcycle helmet is one directly related to the increasing abilities of motorcycles themselves. In the era of Gottlieb Daimler's first motorcycle in 1885, helmets were not necessary. This is because the original motorcycle was not built for particularly speedy travel; propulsion alone was enough of a feat for the late nineteenth century. By the mid twentieth century, however, the desire to create faster and more agile machines was well established in the field of motorcycle production, and with this increase in mechanical ability came an increase in the number of fatalities associated with these small, unprotected vehicles. The first helmet, surprisingly, was not created with the motorcycle in mind, but instead was designed for the United States Air Force. Professor Charles Lombard was trying to protect aviators from the effects of for impacts associated with early flight, and thus produced an energy-absorbing helmet. As the motorcycle develops in new ways, the motorcycle helmet has and will continue to develop with it. In order to make this technology as safe as it is powerful, as much attention must be paid to the helmet as to the motorcycle itself. Thank you for your time Discount Motorcycle Helmets Factory. http
