Should throw up some interesting results when they come out

I'll bet theres a few "budget" helmets that outscore the big names when they give the results

SHARP will enable riders to more easily select a helmet which matches their needs.
The bad thing IMO is it'll make peeps buy a helmet based on cheapness and not one that fits their head better.
Bad, bad, bad.
Another example of the stupid nanny state we live in.

After having had a quick look around the Sharp site, I can't see any information on what criteria they rated the helmets, and there is no review of the helmet as such (i.e. good on wind noise, but bad on weight etc.)
All in all, not a lot of use to anyone trying to make an informed decision.
