I've always wondered if this was always true when I first heard it during my MSF course or if it was more conjecture.

I've heard of people who drop their helmets off their seat and send it in for safety inspection and get it returned with a letter saying it's still good. Any ways, if you have serious doubts, better safe than sorry. $50 for a new helmet is a worth while investment, at least for the peace of mind.
