A sticker for your helmet
I actually have one of these on my motorcycle helmet. Now I just need one for my bicycle helmet.

I have 'DON'T BE SUCH A WUSS' on the left side of my helmet where drivers and their passengers can see it. Unamerican.com rocks.

Yes it does.
Linked, since there's a naughty word.

Is it safe to put stickers on helmets?
I recall reading on a rock climbing forum that they can weaken the part of the outer shell on which they are applied--climbing and biking helmets are not all the same, though.
Anyone know?

Does the outer shell matter? I didn't think it did anything?

All it does is keep the Styrofoam from getting chipped and chewed up form normal use. It's just taped to the
Styrofoam.
When your helmet stinks and normal washing does not remove the stink pealing off the tape allows you to remove that plastic shell so you can clean it throughly. Use black electrical tape to reattach the plastic shell to the Styrofoam.
While the shell is off you could paint it to match your bike.

Just like it's difficult to crush an egg in the palm of your hand, but easy to crack it with your fingers.

I don't think I'd worry. 1) I doubt that the sticker adhesive does much, and 2) the outer shell isn't designed to absorb impact anyway.
