Saved my son, thank you
My son, 9, had outgrown his old helmet, so I bought this one. Less than three weeks later, he put it to the test. He is a daredevil who loves speed. Riding down a hill, that he isn’t supposed to ride on, he lost control at ~30 mph and landed on the side of his head, on the asphalt. He was knocked out momentarily, but passed the concussion screening at the ER. He is fine, other than some road rash. I hate to think how he might have fared with his old helmet, or no helmet. The ER doctor said that the spot he hit was about the worst place to hit for head injuries.
Don’t skimp on safety equipment, ever, especially for kids. I am ordering this exact same helmet as a replacement. The helmet held up so well I couldn’t initially tell where he hit his head. There was a small scuff and a little crack in the foam, and then I noticed the compression of the foam where it cushioned his head. Best money I have ever spent.
