Doesn't look like much difference between this and the skater-style helmets. Skater helmets were never constructed of EPS, but rather a type of elastomeric padding probably similar to the Zorbium foam TW uses (basically thick rubber that springs back slowly). My opinion is that these types of helmets will definitely protect better than typical bike helmets, and I do see ppl wearing them--mostly BMXers and MTBers. Full face helmets would be even better since a lot of bike falls involve face plants.
