Giro helmets - huge appreciation

[Dan B]

Have to admit I no longer take avoiding action for small wildlife....

I hit a crow while skating the other week. Not intentionally, it flew straight into my leg. It wasn't wearing a helmet

not to mention coffee, latte, hot chocolate

Will need years to compile the data and then to process it.

it would be foolish not to. We cannot rely on anecdotal evidence

Glad you're OK Tigger.

I haven't had tea yet. You people have had TEA? How come I wasn't brought any?

 

[Davidc]

Had my Giro helmet on when I left for Wellington this morning. Took it off after a mile. Didn't wear it for the rest of the 19 miles return trip.

If I HADN'T (taken it off) I'd be dead now, crushed under a bus or similar.

Heard there was a rogue helmet debate raging. Mind if I grab a chair ?

 

[Davidc]

^^

Its half past 5, any chance of a cold beer?

 

[david k]

yeh treat yourself, but after 3 put your helmet on

 

[Red Light]

im sure our friends will have read many journals and reports into this, he'll be along in a bit

Surely you guys (and gals) can't not know about the research on dunking biscuits?

 

[david k]

thats hilarious

give me a good laugh that, mind you, incorrect dunking is no laughing matter

Anyway back on topic...

My Giro Atmos after hitting the ground at about 25mph. I don't think i will be going for one of these again as there is absolutely no compression in any of it, just cracked all the way through.

A good illustration of a helmet not doing what it was designed to do but doing what it was designed not to do instead.

Yes but it saved him - praise be!
