This just proves that the TSG is insufficient protection from Dawn's thighs
🥵🥵🥵
LOL, right!
300 dollar piece of trash
This helmet says inside: for use in non - motorized recreational sports such as pedal cyclist, skateboarding and roller skating. Those are the standards it was manufactured for.
I also have the Sedici Sistema II MIPS helmet and feel very safe with it. DOT certified and ECER22-05 as well. Avoid bargains and think about what a helmet is for. Oh, and do not let Dawn get hold of it. Thank you Marty and Dawn for this public service announcement.
No vy všetci patríte do skupiny veľkých detí. Veď vy sa stále úžasne zabávate. Takýto test som ešte nikdy a nikým robiť nevidel. Koho toto napadlo? Dawn má obrovský talent na testovanie helm. No a tento spôsob testovania helm si určite zaslúži vážnu pozornosť aj vo svete EUC.👍👏
super že nemusím psát něco podobného :D
Jimmy Chang did a review on this one. A favorable one. And sucker that I am, I ordered one, but before it came, I did a bit more research and found out how flimsy they are and canceled it. Thanks for using Dawn's legs to do this public service announcement. No doubt you've saved a few folks $400 bucks and a concussion. 30 - 50 MPH is much too fast for a TSG.
TSG saved me when I face planted on my esk8. Wasn't going as fast as a EUC but glad I wore a full face helmet that day because it was a bit chilly, otherwise I would've worn my bike helmet.
Thanks for spreading the word with accounts of events leading
The TSG Pass helmet is just not suitable for EUC riding!
I recommend Shoei Glamster or Glamster 06 as direct alternative with comparable weight, but certified ECE-22.06 which is the most relevant for EUC riding as it has strict tests both for low and high speeds.
Wishing Joy a full and swift recovery 🙏
TSG Pass is *definitely* suitable for riding EUC. It’s a downhill helmet, and the options you suggest are *at least* 30-40% heavier, and you risk neck injury because an MC crash is very different to a EUC crash. However, I speak for us who don’t ride 40mph so that you might prefer the risk of whiplash.
To add to that: MC helmets don’t give you the same situational awareness.
@@sebgro I own a Shoei Glamster in M and it's only 1150G, yet ECE-22.05 certified as a real motorcycle helmet.
It's heavier than 980g indeed but only by 17% not 30-40%. Since it's designed as retro helmet it's compact and also has a great FOV as the chinguard is low.
That's why I suggest that one as direct replacement instead of any other MC helmet (and got one myself)
The frequent occurrence of head trauma Dawn and Joy described disqualifies the TSG Pass as EUC helmet: it fails at protecting the rider's brain.
You know the saying: "You had one job"
@@supercurioTube All the pics I see on Google, the chin bar is almost up your nose. With poorer hearing too, I’d say it’s suitable if you ride your EUC as you ride your MC. The PASS protects accordingly to their certificates of use.
@@sebgro I ride with the Glamster so I can confirm the FOV is better than a typical MC fullface, probably thanks to its lower overall thickness.
Despite being highly demanding on this criteria, I would rate the acoustics as very good for EUC riding thanks to well below average wind noise yet only moderate noise isolation. Not the best for loud motorcycles but ideal for us for situational awareness.
Overall: highly recommended although it doesn't have the convenience of a convertible.
I understand that you like your TSG Pass, but I can feel some cognitive dissonance from how you dismiss the reports of how ineffective it often is to protect us.
Very nice video that makes the idea 😁
Do you have any suggestions for an approved jet helmet that is as light as possible?
i had a faceplant with my other helmet RUROC.... it got a little scratch but the "face part" hit me so hard in the nose i end up using the tsg.
i have to say i dont run so much.... so the TSG is ok for that speed. The ruroc i use it more in winter
I watched a video from EUC Lucifer a few days ago, and he went down with this helmet. It wasn't good. I'm not sure of his speed, but from the video, I would say 25 +mph. He ended up needing stiches! That's right stiches! He was in bad shape. WTF.
I see SOOO many EUC riders using this faux helmet that hardly qualifies as a bicycle helmet, but costs 3-4 times MORE than a certified motorcycle helmet.
I hope this video can make people realize having a whole head is more cool than trying to look cool..
It's a downhill skateboarding helmet. Design with the help of a 3 time world champion downhiller and used by many pros in downhill. It's a different sport and its function is very specific. It is rated with CE EN 1078 - European bike and skateboard helmet standard
ASTM F1952 - US-American downhill-mountain bike helmet standard
I love the TSG helmet. It's light, wide field of view, comfortable, and not too big. My only complaint is it's not very good for temperatures of under 10C, so I have to wear a ski or snowmobile helmet. I am looking into installing an electric visor on TSG, so fingers crossed that would work.
The protection is more than good enough for me. Generally I need protection from sliding, not impact. And something is always better than nothing. This thin layer of hard plastic already offers you 90% or more protection compared to motorcycle helmets in real life.
Most popular helmet in the community! 😄🚀⚡️
Now I really see why when this guy had his recent accident he ended up with a bad concussion, Those are really not that good I see. Make sure you get a strong Dot rated Helmet ladies and gentlemen
The recent video was the first story I heard which made such a clear case against the TSG Pass. Really appreciate that Dawn mentioned her own experience seeing others getting concussion as first hand experience confirming it's occurring consistently

lmao the ending
Sedici is a fantastic brand
“Flex and crack” is probably a very good thing (like the crumple zones of a car). If the helmet doesn’t flex or crack, the force of an impact is transferred directly to the head and neck instead of being absorbed (partially). To be fair, motorcycle riders tend to hit the ground at a near-horizontal angle, slide and tumble like a stone skipping across water. EUC riders hit the ground more like a tree that’s been felled and are slammed onto the ground; sliding and tumbling are just extras that are chipped in after the “Big Bang” 🤕.
Question: What are the properties of an ideal EUC rider’s helmet? On thing is for sure, a great EUC helmet isn’t going to be a hand-me-down from any other transport mode.
Cars have crumple zones- but have air bags behind them. Bumpers flex, but are coil spring loaded. Frames are cages. Dashboards are soft to the touch for a reason. Steering wheels collapse on impact....see where I'm going here?
None of this is in the TSG. It's just a thin shell, and your face.
Um no, flexing and cracking means those forces then go into you. There’s a reason why road helmets have styrofoam between the shell and your head, it’s to absorb the impact. TSG’s are garbage for actual crash protection.
You're cracking me up.
Its crazy that people actually buy this to use for their 100V+ wheels when you can get something like a LS2 off-road ECE certified helmet which costs half the price and weighs the same (~1100 grams).
I've been riding with a TSG! I guess time to go back to my dirt bike helmet.
Dawn "nutcracker" Champion 😂
Dot certified is a minimum but I would sugest ce certified. My boy crash hard and his head was fine just road rash...
Not a good show for the TSG, but as you say it does look cool. But the wheels are getting faster and we do also ride them faster and most of the PEV helmets is not really made for those speeds. If I look at my helmet that is a downhill BELL, its not rated for high speed riding. The faster riders need to really look at motox or full motorbike helmets to keep the head safe.
The TSG helmets are made for much slower action sports. They aren’t really recommended for the speeds an EUC can move. That being said I still own one.
LOL
That's what confuses me. I thought the TSG's were rated for downhill longboarding where speeds can easily reach 40mph and up to 80mph...on pavement. This seems right in line with EUC's. I believe in what Dawn is saying about her experiences, just confused as to how they can be approved even for their original purpose?
@@joshuajones6113 It’s because you fall differently. Going downhill, you have a lower centre of gravity, and you never really go head first. It’s possible to mimic it to an extent on EUC, but you need to be prepared and know when to bail the machine.
@@sebgro ?? I've read all your comments and the theme is a TSG is OK if you know how to fall. The implication being that if you know how to fall without hitting your head then a TSG is OK. I'm not sure you will win any arguements with that logic. Mind you it is probably better than the Beanie and earmuffs MikeS uses in Stockholm... then again maybe not :-))
@@AJames-jr8kw … if you know how to fall - outside or above its intended speeds and impacts(!) If you 90% of the time cruise at 20mph, you’ll be safer with the TSG than any MC helmet.
Scary!
Seems like a Single use helmet. I do like them a bit more durable because all the times they bounce in my trunk.
Up next, phone book torn in half via thunder thighs 😑 lol
Don thank you for devastation about the helmet. We appreciate it.
Funny video, but, oh man, so much confusion about helmets there and in the comments too.
***Most helmets aren't designed to prevent concussions.***
That goes for both bicycle and motorcycle helmets. These helmets are designed to prevent death and severe brain damage. The concussions have nothing to do with how flexible the shell is. If you want to prevent concussions, look for 1) MIPS and 2) multi-density foam (that is, softer density foam to prevent some concussions, combined with harder foam to prevent death).
Why would you see more concussions on EUCs? The only plausible explanation is that the EUC riders hit their heads harder. It can happen due to the way we fall-- there's a lot more to head impacts than than just vehicle speed.
There's an easy way to check if you don't believe me. You think the TSG Pass didn't have enough foam? Then check the foam-- is it totally flattened down where it got hit? If not, then the impact wasn't even large enough to use up the foam it does have. And having a harder shell wouldn't have made any difference. In the video it looks pretty obvious that the impact wasn't hard enough to flatten the foam.
So anyway. I do think a motorcycle helmet is a good idea if you're a fast rider. But "preventing concussions" is not the right reason to get a motorcycle helmet. Aside from a few helmets with special features, that's just not what they do.
I'm going to go rewire my local area network that's "LAN" for tech nerds.
I just decided to buy one and there comes Dawn with her thighs.
Thigh Cracking helmets is a thing now? .... I really haven't been paying attention.... obviously.... 😂
Yup, I never trusted TSG.
Dawn giving birth to a helmet at 1:27
I used to think that TSG was sufficient for mid-tier EUC riders, those who don’t surpass 30 mph often.
HOWEVER, recently I have had a few friends crash at low speed (
The video is supposed to be for fun but also maybe with a message :-)
@@ElectricUnicycles and successfully accomplished.
In case anybody is wondering....that's how I'm tryna die
Please exercise caution when handling objects which could potentially produce plastic shards. Wearing safety glasses is recommended in order to protect your eyes.
Its the price thats just straight up disrespectful. If it was a 150$ then maybe but I cant get 3 certified better looking helmets for the price. Ntm it instantly makes anyone who owns one of these a tool.
*owns a tsg* nooooo cant be that bad i think before i grab my own and flex it with dismay. i really don't want to get a full motorbike helmet though. i Had a MIPS bern before, wonder if thats better.
I volunteer to put that helmet on and let Dawn try to crack it haha Pick me... Pick me!! (Jumping up and down)
I'd hate to be under those legs with that kinda pressure!
I were asking dozen of ppl to send me their messed up TSG helmet for bare hand test, next time maybe....
p.s. im still open for the test ;)
@@nytarzan3471 yep, if it can be done NYtarzan would be the one to do it.
Wait a minute is this a new side business helmet testing OK you could test my helmet
Ironically that shows the helmet works as intended. It should crumble a bit to be able to protect at low speeds and impacts.
This video makes me want to go to the bathroom 😄😄😄
This tsg helmet along with that black grey lazyrolling jacket is trending like crazy haha. I don't trust it. For the fast eucs we have nowadays I got an ece 22.05 motorcycle helmet from revzilla. I dont trust DOT certification too much either. A lot of the cheap helmets from china will stamp dot on it like nothing.
All EUC riders should watch an Aubsome video to see proper protection techniques. They’re Awesome!
The TSG Pass is a skateboard helmet. Anyone riding a motorcycle should know better .
Everyman has to be careful of her
Aren't dirt bike helmets okay? Riding more than 25mph is a big no for me anyway.
Хороший наверное шлем, вот только конских денег стоит...
Dang Dawn's got killa thighs. Why cant I help but imagine her thighs doing some heavy damage to other parts of a man's body 😂. JK JK ya. Serious tho, TSG is a bicycle helmet so take it for it is
Joy has a sultry voice. What's going on there?
Shame on you Dawn, I was thinking higher of you. Now back to the gym! 👿
TSG Fail Pro
Dawn is a very attractive woman, but she makes me fear for my safety...
LOL
This is really dumb lol. As a downhill Longboarder and EUC rider I 100% trust this helmet. I've seen people eat it at 50+ mph. Also this squeezing with your thighs is not the forces one would expect due to a crash on an EUC/longboard. Think about it. Only one side will hit the ground when you crash. Just like car bumpers they flex to absorb the energy. But yeah go off on these helmets and why they don't perform well when they are squeezed. Like are you expect to get hit by a car and pinned?
It's just a light-hearted video, not to be taken too seriously.
@@ElectricUnicyclesaround @2:20 in this video the woman here is making claims that you have seen people suffer concussions and point toward this helmet like it's at fault. Those are serious accusations and you should provide evidence... So saying this video should not be taken seriously is a joke just like y'all. 🤡
TSG is a good helmet. It gives me more safety vs Moto due to way wider filed of view, what is more important on busy city roads. Tried many Moto helmets, but nothing close to TSG. Just do not ride on one wheel above 40-45mph, It's just not safe...
Been telling people for ages not to wear those $300 trash helmets
I do not know why people not getting motorcycle helmet , but you got to do you
Typically because of weight. Motorcycle helmet's are built with the assumption that you will be spending most of your time looking straight ahead. When riding EUC's we tend to be (or at least should be) looking everywhere. You definitely feel the difference when using a lighter helmet. That being said, if non-motorcycle helmets really don't protect your head, then none of that matters.
@@joshuajones6113 i respect your opinion, i have one and see clearly but we can’t force anyone, it is 2023
@@joshuajones6113 "Motorcycle helmet's are built with the assumption that you will be spending most of your time looking straight ahead"
In fact that just isn't true. Motorcycle helmets are supposed to provide unobstructed peripheral vision. Motorcycle helmet standards have the exact same field of view requirements as the CPSC bicycle helmet standard. (Seriously, look it up.) And motorcyclists absolutely wouldn't be riding in helmets they can't see out of-- that would be straight up crazy. This claim is a complete myth.
@@SkeptikosUTube Sorry...totally fair to call this out. I overstated that. I ride motorcycles as well as EUC's, and in my experience I don't need the field of view on my motorcycle that I need on my EUC. I'm riding with traffic rather than surfing it and so I do spend most of my time looking ahead rather than all around. The motorcycle helmets I do use in general have a much more restricted field of vision than the TSG, and it's never been an issue. I've tried my motorcycle helmets on my EUC and they tend to feel restrictive in this regard. I did not mean to imply this was because of any regulation, and to be fair doesn't apply at all to open face motorcycle helmets.
@@joshuajones6113 I also ride motorcycles and EUCs. But what you're talking about isn't a motorcycle thing. Full face bicycle helmets, worn with goggles as intended, will be about the same. They are not made to have different fields of view.
It's the TSG Pass that's weird here. The eye opening seems like it was made to hold goggles, but I'm not sure I've ever seen someone wear goggles with it. So it's a bit of an accident that you get more field of view from it. If you're a fan of this field of view "hack", you can do the same with motorcycle helmets-- dual-sport motorcycle helmets are designed the same way (they're made to fit goggles, but they have a faceshield) so you can get the same extra wide field of view from them.
