This is apparently nothing but one man's crusade against Pro-Tec.

I didn't see Pro-Tec mentioned. How could it be a "crusade"
agasint them, if they aren't mentioned?

I'm
sorry his son was killed, but the fact that he chose a helmet that didn't
fit his head properly doesn't make the product defective.

I missed the analysis and evaluation that supports your
statement that it didn't fit his head properly. Do you have
support for the cause of the helmet movement being a fit issue?

I have one that
stays on and in place just fine. As Mary points out, people's heads are
shaped differently and no single helmet is going to fit everyone
perfectly.

Yes, helmets come in various sizes for this reason and are
generally adjustable in the straps and even internally.

Apparently, the two college kids who designed this new helmet
didn't reseach that aspect very thoroughly.

That may be apparent to you, but you provide no support for that
accusation either. Would you like the helmet better if the
designers were 42 years old? Is Johns Hopkins University not up
to your standards for such academic work?

Billing this unavailable
product as the "World's Safest Whitewater Helmet" is a bad joke, bordering
on disingenuous. The psuedo-official sounding business name "Whitewater
Research & Safety Institute, Inc." and the BS about issuing a "Voluntary
Recall Demand" is even more misleading.

How did it mislead you?


If the product comes to market and it provides good protection for the
people it fits, so much the better. However, this marketing strategy isn't
fooling anyone and Mr. Turner would do well to consider a different
approach.

Which marketing strategy would that be? How would you advise
them to market the helmet?

I truly hope Mr. Turner isn't going to become the Tim Ingram of helmets.

But we have you to save us from disingenuous rants, don't we?
