The only other thought I had about the "incident" was that my helmet was scraped on one side - wiped off one of my pink tassels! And I am not sure that the helmet has remained intact.
How do I test it? Is dropping a brick on it from the roof a good test?

...could be good timing that Santa is just around the corner me thinks...... (thats a HINT Scummy! ) ......and maybe a pinlock or fog city would be worth its weight in Speights Gold

might aswell, its most likely all its any good for... a lid has only a life span (even if not used) of 5-10yrs. What brand is it? depending on if its a compersit or plastic mould will depend if its ok.
Fiber crazes when its done the job, so if you see a staring affect and or wee chips off or loose ITS FUCKED, if it is a old plastic job it will have a split seam on it which splits, either way if you hit your head claim on acc and get a new one as afte all it is ya life relying on iy being good.

I cannot remember how old normajeanes helmet is but it's a HJC.

And the crash 'damage' is white paint and surface scraping from sliding along the painted ply-wood cladding on the side of the bridge.
No starring, chips or looseness, I looked at the inside and it looks OK - but I bet CB (I mean normajeane!) actually wants a flash helmet like mine!

Me thinks you should pay homage to the biker gods that protect good riders like you and CB
Give thanks that the accident only resulted in minimal damage,
The homage being the purchase of a brand spanking new helmet to protect the love of your life.
Also get some nice new tassels , and ribbons so we can all distinguish her in the pack.

wiped off one of my pink tassels!
