[INLINE] William “Pete” Snell was an amateur auto racer. He died needlessly in a racing event in 1956 when his then state-of- the-art helmet failed utterly to protect him. His friends, including Dr. George Snively, formed the Snell Memorial Foundation to remember Pete Snell and to encourage the development and use of truly protective helmets.
