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. |
I don't agree with it.I am stating what manufactures and safety councils say.I too have dropped my helmet and don't intend to run out and buy a new one.
