We will have to agree to disagree on that. If a 2 foot drop will cause damage to a helmet then #1 I don't want that product line, #2 the manufacturers better get their act together and do something.

If a helmet was replaced everytime it fell off a bike, rolled off a chair or slipped out of hand there would be very few riders. Nobody could afford to ride.
