Actually, probably less safe. The extra vents may increase rotational injury... it's those super freakin' hot skate-helmets that conform to the shape of the skull so well and that have few vents to "catch" on surface area that seem to be somewhat more effective. Yet, for people so concerned about safety and seemingly willing to do anything "even if there is a 1% chance it will help", we don't see those around more. Funny, that.
