Really cool to see new helmet tech! The VT testing is good to have, and for those that are interested in other independant testing there is the Folksam helmet testing. That one has been done since 2015 and is similar to the VT testing protocol. It's a cooperation between Folksam (an insurance company) and the Swedish Royal Technical University, and the results are peer-reviewed published research. When I look for a new helmet i usually cross-reference the VT and the Folksam tests aiming for top results in both and a good fit :)

On their website they have a list of all helmets tested since 2015 (unfortunately only in swedish, pdf's for each year are available in english).
