"Helmet crushed but head fine"

Buckle up!

Good advertising for Giro

Yeah, I know what my next helmet’s going to be.

Don’t wear a ten dollar helmet unless you’ve got a ten dollar head?

heh, the messenger list has had a bunch of stuff on this.
opinion varies as to value of helmets in many ways, but i guess if you are going to get your head run over, you better be wearing one…

Finding reasons not to wear a helmet is like finding reasons to ride brakeless, or shave one’s legs. Argue all you want, everyone knows it’s all about looks.

having spent anywhere from $50-300 in one hit at a time on helmets, i still haven’t found one that actually fits right.
bell, met, giro, cratoni, specialised, nothing seems to fit the way my arai moto helmet fits.
they are all a little narrow, or not long enough, or both.
by end of a 10 hour day i ALWAYS have a headache, caused from helmet pressure.
i often wonder if i’d be better not wearing one and not getting the headaches.
ah well, it’s probably a tumor from the radios anyway so why worry…

any chance it’s dehydration?

no, it’s just the helmet pressing on various places.
different headache with each helmet.

If only Arai made bicycle helmets. Then at least we’d be poor and comfy.

true that,
my goalie mask was a carbon ProMasque and fantastic.
fitted better than anything i’ve ever worn on my head and was designed to survive multiple impacts with a puck going at 90MpH.
wish my met fit me that well…

Ice hockey? There’s no ice in QLD, except the shit that you smoke…

to quote spuddy “WORD”

That would be right :roll:, Queenslanders get all the good shit (rednecks, guns, bogans, cane toads, tourists etc etc etc) while the rest of the states subsidise them. The only Melbourne Ice rink I know of is the shitty one on Centre Rd in Oakleigh Sth.

Ahhh, good to see another person over ‘the normal’ side of town, S.E. suburbs all the way, not like those Carlton, Northcote, Ivanhoe etc etc fairies.

Go the Westys!
