Salt Walther Artifact Found on the Web

Was tooling around the web and came upon this photo. It is Salt's '73 crash helmet. I was amazed at the damage. Just watch a documentary on Nikki Lauda and his crash in 1976 in the German GP. His helmet was not as damaged as Salts, but it actually came off during the crash. That is likely why he sustained the severe burns to his face and heads.

Salt always praised the helmet manufacturer for building it right. No one could expect a helmet to last long in a fire, it's design to keep your skull intact during a crash.
