78. Linda Leary Taylor believes that the sport of BMX needs to make changes related to CTE. The injuries that these young kids who are up and coming are going to be facing. The sport has evolved to hard tracks, not dirt tracks. Harry’s great niece recently started racing and the first thing Linda did was get her granddaughter a Troy Lee helmet that is specifically made for CTE.

🏍️ Troy Lee Designs and CTE Safety: A Commitment to Head Protection

Troy Lee Designs (TLD) supports chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) safety primarily through advanced helmet engineering and rigorous testing protocols aimed at minimizing head trauma in high-impact sports like motocross and mountain biking. Here's how they do it:

🧠 Helmet Innovation Focused on Brain Safety
SE4 Helmet Development: TLD invested over 3,800 hours and built 350 prototypes to develop the SE4 helmet, specifically targeting high-impact zones and conducting multiple impact tests at varying speeds and heights.

Multi-Velocity Impact Protection: Helmets like the A3 feature co-molded EPP and EPS shells designed to absorb impacts at different velocities, reducing the risk of brain injuries.
MIPS Technology: Many TLD helmets incorporate the MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System), which helps reduce rotational forces that can lead to brain trauma—a key factor in CTE development.

🛡️ Certified Safety Standards
TLD helmets meet or exceed multiple international safety certifications:

CPSC, EN1078, AS/NZS, and NTA8776 for bike helmets
ECE standards for moto helmets These certifications ensure helmets are tested for impact resistance, retention system strength, and coverage.

🧪 Rigorous Testing and Design Philosophy
Crash Simulation Testing: TLD conducts repetitive crash simulations to identify and reinforce vulnerable areas.

Smart-Shear Visor Screws: Designed to break away during impact, reducing rotational forces that could exacerbate brain injury.
Troy Lee Designs doesn’t just make gear—they engineer it with a deep understanding of the risks athletes face. Their proactive approach to helmet safety reflects a serious commitment to reducing the long-term effects of repeated head trauma, including CTE.

We invite you to listen to our conversation about BMX legend Harry Leary, with his sister @[100000157943708:2048:Linda Leary Taylor] and Kyle A. Huffman while walking over the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ.
