    I just took my old Corsair out to the shed and gave it the axe test!
    It took 4 decent blows to the top of the helmet before the shell gave way. Even then the axe couldn't penetrate the aramid mesh. Unfortunately, it was no match for the hacksaw.

    take the insides out and use it as a planter for the sons school project and then throw it out once the plant eventually dies.

    My head is too big for the Mrs.

    So I just turn them upside down and use them as pot plant holders.

    Ride to a soccer trip tournament.

    While you are not there, some pissed team mates put your wifes helmet on and use it for kicking and door slamming practice.

    Donate helmet to the team (after they pay for a new one)

    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

    The only skidlid I have is the one that I was wearing when I had the bin that ended me riding again. IMO someone would be a farkturd for giving their lady their old lid. Don't be such a cheap skate and get her a new one that fits when your getting yours.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
