it is actually kinda cool. i am a EMT/firefighter so it looks like it helps alot with our end for medical care. it is a small air chamber that sits in the helmet and a small tube runs out. in the event of a crash the chamber can be pumped up and slides the helmet off with minimal impact to the spine. i was just woundering if we would have to use this for the minimoto or if it was for the big bike racers.

ama supercross and outdoors required it for the past 3 years now i think. It's the hats off device. Makes helmet removal easier by pushing from the inside by and air bladder so as not to move your neck around after a crash. Is the minimoto requiring this?? |

I don't think its required at any big amateur stuff, so I don't think it will be at MiniMoto. | |
