Unfortunately I was busy with something else and missed a part of this video that was rather offensive. So reviewing it now I have removed this video.

I officially no longer want to live on this f—-king planet.

Is that in the video? I'm not watching if it is.
It is not actually in the video, as an inserted video, but it is a comment that Ryan makes. Is it factual, or just a feeble attempt by Ryan to interject some humor? I don't know. But his info about the helmets he talks about probably can be accepted as solid.
Well, watched. It's a good video in that it's mesmerising. Unfortunately, once he said dead (human) bodies were flung against walls to get a skull fracture coefficient, I was completely unable to follow the complicated mathematics, as I spent the rest of the video doubting this. Car manufacturers have used crash test dummies since I was in shorts.
If the monkey story is true, I'll never buy a helmet from that/those manufacturers, if anyone knows who they are.
It's not a particularly enlightening video. Could just say, buy a helmet with the safety logo; they're generally the same whatever the cost of the helmet.
Google “Unnecessary Fuss” and go from there. Crash testing with animals is in fact, a thing.

It’s probably industry research not specific to any one manufacturer. The world is an ugly place.
Awareness is paramount.
It's Lawrence of Arabia's fault...
He rode his Brough Superior wrecklessly. Reading his writings, he probably was depressed, intentionally endangering himself.
Inevitably crashing, he died of a head injury.
A young doctor, Hugh Cairns,
one of Britain’s first neurosurgeons who attended Lawrence, realised he would have likely survived had he worn a helmet.
Cairns subsequent research eventually led to compulsory helmet wearing in the UK.
Cairns was pivotal in using animals to demonstrate head injuries from acceleration and shear strains.
