Brain-bucket bull market

A directory of helmet manufacturers is presented. Some of the companies in the listing are Acerbis, Bell, Boeri, Briko and Carrera. Gabel, Giro, Jofa, Leedom and Louis Garneau are also included. Helmet suppliers are faced with a bullish 1999 market because of advertisements from freeskiing competitions, dead sports stars and government agencies who are giving safety design recommendations. It is expected that helmet suppliers' 1999-2000 collection, which features products that are more technologically advanced, will do well in the market.
