Following extensive scientific testing the Aussie Track and New Derby ARB HS 2012 certified helmets are now available. Both provide unparalleled safety improvements.
Aussie Rider Safety Pty Limited is the only supplier at this stage that has been able to meet the required standard of ARB HS 2012.
Personally, I own the New Derby for track work riding.
D. Oliver has worn the New Derby for years according to Hyland Sportswear.
Most jockeys prefer the GPA 2 or 3, and I think that's the issue, they don't comply with the new rules and standards.
The idea behind the new rule is to reduce neck injuries because of the makeup of the foam inside the helmet.
