2.A helmet that has cracked has failed to crush.

3.Therefore a cracked helmet is one that has failed to reduce concussion risk.
Serious logic fail.

It's not necessarily binary. That is, crushing and cracking could both be occurring.

Cracking might not be good but that doesn't that it's worse than no helmet.

Also, the fact that the helmet is there to (possibly) crack in some situations means it's there to (possibly) crush in others.

Really, nobody will think worse of you if you move your lips while reading.
Good job on the name calling!

You are the person who incorrectly said that closetbiker didn't engage in name calling!

It appears you really have no idea what name calling is.

Hilarious! Ironic!
