Geez that's a big crack on the right side. Hang in there with the concussion it can take a while for brain to fully heal.

Holy **** dude! Sounds like quite an ordeal. Glad you're doing better! What gear were you wearing other than the helmet? If you haven't already, you should go rate that icon helmet 1000 stars.

No, didn't come to mind to do it, and also have no memory of anything so I couldn't really tell about it. I had also not log in at all, it happen in Nov and yesterday was my first time coming back to the site

I've thought about giving the helmet a good rate because it saved me I guess but haven't done it.
I'll post pics of the other gear, it was a SS textile jacket, dickies as pants because I was on my way to work, some SS textile gloves, and Navy flight deck steel toe boots.

yes it takes time. it happened in Nov and still recovering

Corona · April 8th, 2014, 02:07 PM

I have never been a fan of textile jackets, was my only textile jacket, do have leather jackets and leather gloves. just happened to be wearing that jacket at that time.

and I was told I only had 1 broken rib, no other broken stuff. I do have bad vision because of the hits on the head (wearing helmet) and still soreness on the left leg (all of it).

at another site I am, for riders. a rider posted this after seeing the cracked helmet pic.

member at another rider site:
I just educated myself on something. According to this article
http://www.msf-usa.org/index_new.cfm...at%20To%20Wear

"Both the shell and the liner essentially self-destruct, if hit hard, by spreading the forces of impact throughout the helmet material. The more impact energy that is deflected or absorbed, the less there is of it to reach your head and do damage. Some helmet shells delaminate on impact, while others may crack or break if severely impacted. This is one way a helmet acts to absorb shock. It is doing its intended job. Impact damage to the non-resilient liner may be invisible to the eye; it may look great, but probably has little protective value left and should be replaced."

he also mentioned he didn't know a helmet would crack that way so he did some research and mentioned it.

Never dropped it yet been almost a year since I got it. Hope it stays that way lol.

Rozzie · May 13th, 2014, 10:18 AM

Nope not yet for me... had her since August 2012

warlord · May 26th, 2014, 11:08 PM

Never crashed or dropped the 250r or my new bike.

I got that out of my system at the MSF course, lowsided on of their 250s when we were riding in the rain and broke one of their helmets, too. Kinda counts I think...

alex.s · May 26th, 2014, 11:09 PM

never limit your own possibilities, @warlord you can do anything you set your mind to.

capt_bugaloo · May 27th, 2014, 06:52 AM

I think there is a big difference between a crash and a drop.
Crash: you are moving. Never.
Drop: not moving. I've had this happen twice, once on an EX500 when my boot slipped on some sand while stopped at an intersection, and once on an F650 while stopped in some deep mud on a dirt road in Costa Rica.

cbinker · August 14th, 2015, 11:22 AM

Pushing the limit at the track can and will lead to crashing.
