Great (albeit long) article that came out this month from Outside magazine titled, "After The Crash."
This article is not meant to discuss the pro's or con's for helmet usage with flying, but just to keep us all a little more informed.
The Helmet Wiki is now updated with a Manufacturers List. Any Missing? If so, please edit the Wiki! Tnx!

CIVL now allows helmets certified to either EN966 (HPG), ASTM 2040 (Snow Sports) or SNELL rs98 (Snow Sports) at all times while flying.
In hang gliding, the EN1077-A and -B are also allowed.
(These were added to the required list for competitors who enter FAI Cat 1 Events.) Some Cat 2 Events may adopt this standard too.
