You've worn all of those helmets yourself so why not answer your own question
There's a difference between wearing the helmets and not encountering and incident and knowing whether or not one helmet is considered to be significantly safer. Your theory only makes sense if I had worn all the helmets and happened to be the crash dummy for the testing too.

What do you mean by "safer"? Nothing on the market will prevent concussions, but fractures are a completely separate and preventable injury by pretty much everything out there.
I have a history of concussions, so I did a lot of reading when I was looking for a helmet. I walked into my LHS and asked what they'd recommend, their immediate answer was the ReAkt and I'd be willing to bet that it was because it was the most expensive. It's easy to think that an expensive helmet is going to protect you better, but it's just not the case.
If you're worried about concussions, get the cheapest helmet you can find because it's not going to help.
I know a lot more than you about collecting bud, so save the shit

Pretty much what I was looking for. Is all this $200-300 Tech going to prevent or save me from another concussion? Guess not.
