I've been wearing my helmet religiously the past month or so. I'm a messenger in Boston, so that means I've been wearing my helmet 9 hours a day. Today I noticed that my forehead might be getting reshaped by my helmet. There are a couple dents in my head wear the helmet sits. Is my helmet actually doing that? Am I just paranoid? I loosened it up a bit just in case.
Is this a serious problem? If any of you have been experiencing it, do you have a trick for preventing my helmet from doing this and/or reverse what might have been done?
Three things to try:
1. Loosen up the helmet some and wear a skull cap or do rag
2. Try another brand helmet. For example, Bells don't fit my noggin well, but Giros usually do.
3. Lyposuction to remove un-needed brain matter from the dented areas
