Doesnt Meet ANY National Safety Standards? Really?
Bought this helmet based on the GREAT Amazon reviews, let me be the first to say it fits well, it looks awesome, priced amazingly well and has an awesome feel to it, (wait for it).. I was pretty stoked on this purchase until I gave it a squeeze and noticed how much it flexes which I thought was odd for a helmet with really only one job. I then flipped the lid over and noticed on the inside more warning labels than I have ever seen on any helmet I have ever owned.. (I was raised on back country skiing, Mountain biking, skating and motocross, I have seen a helmet or two, and no that doesn't make me the Helmet expert, I just like my brains to stay on the inside verses scattered all over the sidewalk). Take it for what its worth, the warning that jumped out on me was the following (Pic attached): "Warning: Product Designed for Recreational, Non-Advanced, Skate use only. It is NOT intended for Bicycle use and does not meet ANY National Safety Standards." Seriously? Not one? Not a single National Safety Standard? I'm no expert but shouldn't a Helmet designed to protect your head meet at least one National Safety Standard? Anyway the more you know.. Happy shopping.
