Last night I was cleaning the shop and stumbled on some old gear of mine.
Helmet worn once and stored away in a padded bag. 6 pt Safety harness never installed, fire extinguisher system never installed, and various other stuff I purchased for my V12 E type roadster.
Since it's my butt on the line why can't I determine if it's safe to use rather than some date stamp?
If you're using the car for some sanctioned event, it's their rules - that's why. They aren't going to have the time (or be willing to accept the liability) to individually check every helmet that's out of date to see if it's been hidden away in a bag with one use, or dropped repeatedly on the floor and then left out in the sun for years.
Luckily, canoes require no safety equipment.
