very comfy and very dangerous
I bought this helmet because I needed one to skate in and I was impressed with the 4.8/5 star reviews. when it arrived after a quick look I was happy with it and impressed at how comfy and low profile it was, after A little farther examination it is clear to see that this helmet is not safe, there is no crushable foam or "Expanded Polystyrene" which is the stuff that is designed to crush on impact and absorb most high impact shock there are just some thin foam pads and a bendy plastic shell (its bendy enough that you can easily put it on sideways) and clearly states on the inside that this helmet "does not meet any national safety standards" and "Impacts even at very low speeds can result in injury or death". If you read any of the other positive comments, they are based solely on how much their grandchildren wear it and and how comfy it is, nothing concerning the safety even remotely. So if you want a comfy and stylish helmet and don't really care about permanent brain damage, paralysis, and death then this could be the perfect helmet for you but if that's the case whats the point of wearing a helmet in the first place. the only reason I took the time to write this long article is solely because I care, who knows, maybe it will save someone's life someday.
