Reading the latest AMCN i noticed a story on a UK gov't rating system for helmets called SHARP. It seems to be similar to the NCAP ratings for car safety etc with the helmets being subjected to specific tests and then given a star rating out of 5.
You can check the results here and it also has a lookup feature if you want to find a specific helmet.

It seems some of the more pricey items ddn't do quite as well as their cheaper counterparts. It's obvioucly not the be all and end all but it should give a bit of a guide.
