Ever noticed that the Sharp Helmet Safety Scheme does not include DS helmets?

Wonder if this is the reason:
- DS helmets are designed to have larger visors to fit goggles.
- This means the chin part is reduced in size (most likely also in strength)
- From the image below it seems that 34.6% of impact happen on this chin section.

Are we at higher risk to injury?
