Now I have no job. Physically less work. But your mind doesn't rest. Wanders! Thinks a lot! Analyzes a lot! Suddenly I remembered the accident that I met with in the recent past. I was wondering if I had traveled at a higher speed as I used to, what would have happened? One thing let to another and finally I ended up with a doubt.
"Is my helmet bullet proof?"
It is really bad when people with good amount of knowledge end up having silly doubts. Now I started gathering data and calculating impact on the helmet by different events.
1) When I bang the helmet to the ground(Got a little crazy and practically tested)
2) When I meet with an accident @70kmph(Speed when I met with accident)
3) When I meet with an accident @105kmph(Regular speed)
4) When a bullet hits it(0.22 bullet)
Surprisingly I found that pressure applied on the helmet by a bullet is much less than when I meet with an accident at triple digit speed. The accident didn't scare me but my calculations do. From the day I did this calculation I never crossed 70kmph.
