KEP Italia: Still no good?

I think you’re missing the point.

Helmets lose their effectiveness after impact - they doesn’t mean they have to disintegrate. They still provide some form of protection just by remaining strapped to your head at the very least.

It’s not like you fall off, hit your head, say “hold on, Dobbin, before you also kick me in the skull,” run back to the barn for a new helmet and then climb back under there for the head kick.

Most of us would rather have somethingremain strapped to our heads rather than nothing there.[/QUOTE]

See, i don’t think she missed the point, she didn’t read the point. Missing the point can be explained but when they skip the reading part and go right to the commenting, you can explain all you want, but they’ve already demonstrated they aren’t listening.

Quick picture of the hat in question if you can’t be bothered going to the H&H link.

When I was very young, I was lawn darted by my pony. She tried to jump over me but ended up landing on my head. I only realised that when somebody pointed out that I had a hoof print on my helmet. If my hat had done what the hat in the above photo had done in the initial impact (the lawn dart), it would be a very different story. Nothing to do with reusing a helmet after a fall.[/QUOTE]

Wow that is a really shocking picture! It’s hard to believe that it’s supposed to do that upon impact. You’d think maintaining a semblance of structural integrity would be part of the approval process.

Even aside from the photo of the disintegrated helmet and the poor customer service, any thoughts (if I had them) of buying a KEP would be lost at:

A friend of mine has the vent looking thing fall out all the time. She’s even super glued it. She’s had 2 and they both do it. She still likes it though.[/QUOTE]

They are what now, $600-$700? And parts randomly fall off? No. Just no.
