Arai crash helmets have been producing helmets as we know them since 1950 by Hirotake Arai in Japan. First brought into Europe in 1983, the same year Freddie Spencer became the first world champion wearing Arai crash helmets. Since then Arai crash helmets have been worn by multiple world champions in many disciplines, and they still hold the record of the fastest ever recorded crash with Shinya Nakano coming off at around 200mph at Mugello, 2004. Have a look online for the video if you want to see a repeat impact crash test where the rider survived thanks to his Arai crash helmet - that’s a real life test, not a laboratory recreation.
