WTF?

 

[Octet]

Depends who's helmet it was (looking at you Wiggins)

But in general, no.

"holes in each side of helmet from a washing machine incident"??!!!?
I knew a large number of accidents happen in the home, I guess it was lucky they were wearing it at the time they were doing the washing

Based on the photo, I reckon it definitely saved his life.

My guess is he bunged it in the washing machine to clean it

It's junk now.

Shows why you shouldn't try to cycle in the utility room when the tiled floor is wet. You may slip and headbutt the washing machine...

A hitman with a good imagination...

Did he bypass the safety on the washing machine, then put his head inside to test the helmet?

Buy it for pennies, wear it, throw self in front of car, show it as evidence and claim compo?

No chance, it's obvious washing machine damage.

Suppose you felt like entering a cycling event where plastic hats were mandatory, but didn't feel like shelling out for one and weren't convinced about their efficacy. This one would be ideal.

My guess is it fell down the back and was 'crushed' by it. Until I checked the listing I thought someone might be tempted for parts, but the strap is buggered to so I've no idea what the chancer is on. I guess they are hoping someone will think it's a bargain, missing the £10 postage fee. You'd be better off getting one from a boot fair...

I once tried to palm my damaged helmet off on Miss Goddbody, but she wasn't having it.

 

[stephec]

I notice you don't say how it got damaged. Care to elaborate?

It wasn't one of Boris J's vacuum cleaner accidents?

Palming it off probably.

I have posted a question asking if he does;t have some ripped car seat belts for sale too

Strap it to rack, ride across Spain.
