Bell Helmets downplays their company history, admitting in a vague confession to be the creation of auto racer and inventor Roy Richter (of Bell Auto Parts), and instead focuses on their affiliation with sports icons and proven winners. They are proud of the first Bell Comeback, as they called it, where a Bell helmet saved the life of racer Cal Niday. They also like to quote their favorite customers, such as Jeremy McGrath and Mike Metzger, one of many professional racers who have “worn a Bell during their career.” Indeed, for many years a Bell was synonymous with a helmet, because the company made so many innovations early on. Bell helmet and history seem to go together.
