Should you spend a lot on helmets?

Spitting hairs, a NEW car can brake down in a day

Ignoring the product in the damaged box is just a way to reduce the chance of getting a damaged product. It's all a flaming lottery and if you think cycle helmets could help you, surely you really don't want that? Shouldn't there be a verifiable safe-handling delivery chain for so-called safety products?

The irony of needing safe handling for something people buy to protect from an impact. It needs an impact tell-tale in the same way that the pop up on a jam lid shows if it's been opened.

If you wish to avoid the pain of nesting buzzard attacks, most definately.

Why's it irony? It seems absurd that these things are sold to mitigate against a single impact without any way of telling whether it has already been in an impact.

I agree that a tell-tale would be good.

It was just a little tongue in cheek about the design of sacrificial safety equipment. I had no idea but you can get tell-tales for rough handling.

I'm surprised they're not built into the helmet as a way to increase replacement sales.
