I've thought about that, but at the same time I don't feel that my helmet was meant for a high speed impact. I have had the low speed impact of just falling over and was happy to have the helmet. I broke no bones even though the bruises and bike show a direct impact from behind followed by sliding/dragging. I don't know where I am going with this. Anyway, I have had very few high speed incidents and many low speed ones. I hate helmet debates. I'll just keep wearing mine because I think it looks better than other ones. SAFETY THIRD
