Far Worse

Crashed is Trashed

When you're talking about helmets.

Theoretically you should replace your helmet any time it hits the ground. Just because the outter shell looks intact, the inner spongy stuff can be compressed or cracked and useless.

This guy admits to falling twice. The helmet should be put in the trash, not sold to some um...unsuspecting is the incorrect word there...not sold to someone who doesn't know any better...

I agree with Ginger. If a helmet has been crashed, no matter how insignificant it may look, throw it away. A new helmet could save your life.

Oh , I don’t know . . .

. . . Throw a few bumble bee stickers on there to cover the cracks and I’m sure it would work great!
