Hey, whatever gets you to sleep at night. Hope to god your rational is correct next time you go down.

dude have you ever seen anything slide across pavement with out skipping and bouncing? the foam in your helmet is designed to slow impacts by breaking down and slowing your head... but it can only do this once as it doesn't "rebound" like other foam... even if it's just slightly indented (the indent may be between the shell and the foam and not your head and the foam) it's not going to perform at 100% it's your head... but I'd never trust that if I wreck I'll probably need less than 100% of the helmets capabilities...

well i understand that but am not tryin to get someone to justify my helmet and say yea its ok but when i fell i had a back pack on so it kept my back elevated off the ground and my head up but when i slide i heard my helmet scrape quick and thats when i lifted my neck to prevent it from fluckin it up any more than it all ready... like isaid when i crashed i wasnt worried about my self was more pissed at this helmet
