Pictured above are two helmets: One Is a badly damaged fiberglass helmet, the other a Grant molded Thermoplastic helmet manufaetured by Grant Industries, Inc. Los Angeles. Both helmets were subjected to Identical Impacts exceeding Z90.1 USASI standards. It Is apparent from thl s i1nretouched photo that fiberg lass does not have the durability of a molded Thermoplastic helmet. It Is for this reason that all Grant/Pip helmets are made from this tough miracle material. The Grant/Pip safety helmets use a mold· ed Thermoplastic In their helmets because of Its tremendous resistance to destruction by Impact and Its light weight. Because of Its unusually high strength and low weight this material has been used In our space program for our astronaut's helmets. , r:~ ftU. ,,\6\\t ft"t4 VALLEJO SPEEDWAY 2750 8ROAPWAV· NEAR CALIF.
