For about a year I’ve been telling people how lucky I was that I didn’t hit my head that hard

For about a year I've been telling people "how lucky I was that I didn't hit my head that hard" when I crashed my bike, sending me to the ER with more injuries than I can count, but no concussion. Well I finally looked at my helmet for the first time since that crash... It was destroyed!

The foam is basically cracked into 4 pieces, presumably where my skull would have otherwise been split open. It's wild after seeing this that of all the things that broke or tore, my head wasn't one of them. Because of that, I'm sticking with @kask_sport helmets.

Fast, cool looking (if you like the look of aero helmets, which I do), and I can personally attest to being impressively safe. Not sponsored (trust me, that first helmet got a total of 1.5 miles before I crashed so I wish it was 😅), just appreciative. Check your helmets, even if it was just a ding. Cracked foam won't help the second time.
