make em replace it and give him the one he kicked. ive done it, when i got my bike i let all my friends know. you break it you buy it, i have had 2 of them drop my good helmet and both have replaced parts on it. one tried to bitch about it and i said let me see your phone, now if i drop this phone and the screen breaks what happens? he said you will replace the phone! i said exactly... he later apologized for acting like an asshole and order the piece.
i think you gotta let your friends know how much some of this stuff costs. they probably dont think a helmet can be 500$ show em on line let them that know they will replace it if they break it so they dont act careless around it. it would be the same thing if a friend broke a phone, tv, lawnmower etc...
you didnt say "hey dave sit on my bike!" so its not your responsibility, he is a big boy, so he can act like it.
