Hurt, no treatment Made Aug 10, 2016, sent to the company Aug 18, 2016, published by CPSC Sep 1, 2016
The product, in the report: Full Face Motocross/Dirt Bike/ATV style helmet
On 2 August 2016 I purchased an EVS Sports T5 Vector Motocross Helmet size large from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC.com. I received the helmet on 5 August 2016 and tried the helmet on. Right away I felt something was not right about the helmet there was something pushing on my neck at the spot where my spine and my skull connect. I took the helmet off to investigate and found there was a pad made out of two ½ inch stiff foam pads attached to the Styrofoam inside of the helmet under the lining. These pads started at the base of the helmet and were about 2 inches high. They were attached at the jaw and went around the back of the helmet and ended at the same spot on the other side. This caused an area about 1 inch deep above the pad where there was noting causing a pivot point right where my neck attaches to my spine which in case or a impact to the head could cause the spine to snap at that point.
I put the helmet back on and tightened the chin strap down as if I were to go racing with the helmet on. I took the front of the helmet at the chin vent and pushed upward with my hand. Sure enough my head pivoted upward and back while the pad caused my neck to move forward suddenly a sharp pain shot down my neck and back and I let go of the helmet and it stopped. If I had hit something with my head and the head had been driven backwards such as a branch hanging across a trail it could have had enough impact force to go beyond the pain point to the point of snapping my neck resulting in death or serious injury!
At this point I tried to call EVS Sports and was unable to get a hold of any one so I emailed them about this issue and I contacted rocky Mountain ATV/MC by phone. Rocky Mountain had one of their techs go and get one the helmets and he found the same issue with the pad that it hit him in the back of the neck. That had me return the helmet and exchange it for a different manufacture. I am sorry to say EVS Sports has refused to answer my replay as of now and Rocky Mountain ATV/MC is still selling the helmets.
I have raced armature and professional motorcycles and ATV’s since 1975 and have worn helmets made by most major manufactures. I have used everything from helmets costing less than an hundred dollars to some costing several hundred dollars so I do know something about helmets and I currently own several older T5 helmets manufactured by EVS Sports which are of a different design. None of them have ever had anything on the inside of the helmet as unsafe as this. This need to be investigated before someone gets hurt or killed and then it is too late for that person.
