ATGATT - don't knock it.

Keeping an eye on it by taking it with him everywhere he goes?

We need a smiley for a short drum roll followed by a crash cymbal!

Was thinking more of ice, elevation that kind of thing... I know some of that RICE approach has been doubted, but ice and elevation still seem to help for me!

Jeez Chasio I'd let him recover before you send him out mountain climbing...

Yup atgatt works in some cases ... it limited the damage .. ... So although he was damaged in that one .. I cannot imagine how much worse it would have been with none of the gear!

Totally agree. Good gear is always going to give the rider a better chance than none, but obviously some cases will go beyond the abilities of the gear.

The day I had a big crash trying to avoid a kamakaze sheep I wore all the full gear and am thankful it limited the injuries. No road rash was a help. Didn't stop the impact head injury, broken ribs, bleeding lung, two lacerations in my liver from my broken ribs, or the massive swelling to my right side.

I am lucky I left the half helmet and jeans at home that day and wore a full Helmet and armoured gear.

Nasty, to answer your question, yes I did sell the Half Helmet.

I stick with full face helmets nowdays.
