I'm not being funny Joel, but that level of damage is just as dangerous as not wearing a helmet at all. It could have structural damage that will prevent it from doing its job properly in an accident.

As a biker, I'd say it's only fit for the bin - I certainly wouldn't risk my brain in that no

Have you taken it to a Dealer to get the insides checked? I only ever have decent lids - you can't put a price on your safety where bikes are concerned. JMPO.

I never have too much time on my hands when it comes to the safety of fellow bikers!! If it's been checked by a Dealer and they confirmed there is no internal damage then fair enough. You say there's no cracks, but there's a dirty great hole! Unless you yourself are a Dealer and able to check the potential damage inside the helmet, then you cannot say it's safe. Again, JMPO.

If my posting replies saves someones life, then I'm happy. I'll say no more on the matter apart from good luck as you'll need it.

Disgusting attitude to take considering she is concerned with someones safety.

The damage to the helmet is light, as you say it is based around the plastic fairing, not the actual helmet construction itself.

HOWEVER any and EVERY drop of a helmet is to be taken seriously, as has been mentioned, the structural integrity may have been compromised. They are great helmets, I was looking at purchasing one for my bike not too long ago. Great reviews etc. However, after a 40cm drop, to cause damage like that, Id be weary.


GLWS as someone will inevitably get themselves a great helmet, but PLEASE go get it checked before selling smile

£340 and you get a dirty great hole from dropping it just over 1 foot from the floor???? You've been had and anybody who pays £100 for a broken crash(ed) helmet will also have been had!

Maybe it should have been made clearer in the first post that the damage may only be superficial - the wording in the advert suggests the actual helmet is cracked rather than just some trim.

Can the trim be replaced? Is it not worth replacing the trim and getting the helmet checked at the same time and selling the helmet in good order?

I appreciate its cheap, but the words "crank" (crack?) and "droped" (dropped?) in an advert for a crash helmet is never good frown

The points about saftey are all valid.
Those questions are relevant. Any one intrested can now decide forthemselves.

The questions have been answered now. So please keep on topic.

well done wench for keeping your calm and not being goaded into a slanging match! I for one wouldn't buy a dropped helmet, even if there was no damage.
