Are official NFL helmets DOT approved, in any way?
I highly doubt they are DOT approved but I always thought that would be a great idea. Helmet Mfgrs should do shorty helmets or even full face with NFL Team Logos on them. probably not enough of a demand for each team to make it worth while though..
They make Construction "hard hats" with NFL team logos, so why not?
Sometimes I wear my army issued MICH helmet. Its good enough for jumping out of planes(supposedly can stop a bullet) so I figure what the hell. PLus it makes my friends laugh at me so I get a kick out of it.
All kidding aside, if wearing any helmet, especially one that may not be DOT approved, be very careful that the chin strap is adjusted properly and the helmet will not roll back off the head. I had a brother-in-law who, sadly, was killed in a motorcycle accident many years ago in which his helmet wasn't adjusted properly and rolled off the back of his head. He was strangled by the chin strap while lying unconscious. Let's be careful out there.
