Just came upon this site and found it interesting. Thought others might as well. Has some of the more popular motorcycle helmet tests.

It appears that at least in the 2006 test report that if you click on the "HS #" for the specific helmet your interested in, it will bring up another very extensive testing page with data analysis on that helmet.

Hmm.....not sure how I feel about that my $600 Arai failed 1 of the 15 categories in 2006.
You have the Arai Profile right. Thats the Helmet I was going to order with my income tax.

Yeah, I have the Profile UK(<------one in my Avatar). I LOVE the helmet. I have had mostly Shoeis for the last 15 years. It is a touch noisier than my other Shoie but it is SOOOOOOO much more comfortable and cooler in the summer.
Hard to decipher EXACTLY what a fail really means. Seems they only test one helmet in one size.
Ya for the profile it was an
4. Closed by NHTSA- No further action required: Single impact attenuation dwell time failure.
