Sorry mate but that would have to be the dumbest helmet {loosely described as} that i have ever seen, you hit the road with that on and those spikes will end up buried in your head..... :o  Go read the latest member accident thread, once again the helmet saved his life..

I had a bad accident about 30 years ago and my helmet was ripped off also, it fractured my skull and broke my jaw, if i hadn't been wearing it, my head would have taken full impact of the tree that ripped it off, without doubt i wouldn't be here today if i hadn't been wearing it. I get the "young and stupid" thing , its the other idiots that'll get you so you may as well be prepared.... ;)
