Period
1965 to early the late 1960s.
Canada
This helmet was originally acquired by the donor in 1965 when he purchased a Honda 50 motorcycle from a dealer in Verdun, Quebec. The dealership recommended that he purchased this type of helmet to accompany the motorcycle. The donor wore the helmet whenever he rode his Honda 50 around Montreal and kept using it once he moved to Ottawa in the late 1960s, but eventually stopped wearing it when he sold his motorcycle. The donor also stated that he also stopped using this helmet due to the fact that it did not provide any protection to the side of the head. He eventually purchased a helmet that offered more protection. During the 1960s there was a global debate over mandatory helmet laws. Australia was the first country to implement a law making helmets mandatory in 1961. Canada followed this trend as Alberta and British Columbia made helmets required equipment in 1968. Ce casque a été acquis originalement par le donateur en 1965 lorsqu'il a acheté la motocyclette Honda 50 d'un concessionnaire à Verdun au Québec. Le concessionnaire a suggéré qu'il achète ce type de casque pour accompagner la motocyclette. Le donateur portait le casque lorsqu'il conduisait sa motocyclette Honda 50 à Montréal et a continué de l'utiliser lorsqu'il a déménagé à Ottawa vers la fin des années 1960. Ceci dit, il a arrêté de porter le casque lorsqu'il a vendu sa motocyclette. Il a aussi dit qu'il a arrêté de porter ce casque grâce au fait qu'il ne protégeait pas les côtés de la tête. Il a fini par acheté un autre casque qui offrait plus de protection à la tête. Pendant les années 1960s, on remarque un mouvement mondial concernant des lois obligatoires sur le port des casques. L'Australie était le premier pays à implémenter ce type de loi en 1961. Le Canada a suivi cette trajectoire lorsque l'Alberta et la Colombie-Britannique obligeait les casques dès 1968.
Function
Protective headgear used while operating a motorcycle. Casque protecteur utilisé en opérant une motocyclette.
Technical
The manufacturer of this helmet, Stadium Ltd. was established circa the late 1920s as they specialized in plastics for the motor industry. This type of helmet is often referred to as a "half-helmet". It is bowl-shaped and only covers the top of the head. This type of helmet was popular in the United Kingdowm and throughout Europe in the 1960s but only met the minimal requirements set out by motorcycle regulations. Many motorcyle safety organizations continue to ban the use of these helmets. Le manufacturier de ce casque, Stadium Ltd. a été établi vers la fin des années 1920 et spécialisait en plastique pour l'industrie automobile. Ce type de casque est souvent connu comme étant un demi-casque. Le casque a la forme d'un bol qui recouvre seulement la surface de la tête. Ce type de casque était populaire au Royaume-Uni et à travers l'Europe à travers les années 1960 mais atteignait le minimum des attentes des règles de motocyclisme. Plusieurs organisations de sécurité en motocyclisme ne permettent pas l'utilisation de ce type de casque.
