``The helmet saved his life''
German cyclist Jens Voigt, who suffered a serious crash on Tuesday at Tour de France 2009, is making satisfactory progress, according to doctors, who highlighted the helmet helped to save his life.
Brendan Kelly of Coopers, who have been making helmets since the 1960s, says that up to 70,000 helmets may have to be scrapped because of confusion over safety standards.
