johnh Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Managed to launch myself over the handlebars on Sunday and landed on my napper. I felt my head hit a rock pretty hard but it wasnt until I took my helmet off and saw the damage that I realised how hard the impact was. Out come - one knackered brand new helmet but it did its job as I sustained no injury other than aching neck muscles. Money very well spent and replacement Jitsie ordered! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you take a hit like that it will compress the foam protective layer. Its designed to compress sacrificing its self to save your head. A second hit wouldn't provide the same amount of protection as it has already been compromised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
