It is my understanding that in the past, the major differences between the SA and M standards were that the SA required absorption of more energy, and of multiple impacts, such as a head hitting a rollbar several times in a roll-over accident. That is why the SA liners are stiffer than the M liners.

The SA helmets also had some flame retardant standards for the liner materials used.
