Of course I know how I fell and rolled. The initial impact didn't come from my head hitting the ground first...it was on my knee and hand hitting the ground, then the gash on my helmet came at the point when I started rolling...

o no if i see it damaged im definitely replacing it like the Arai that i have. its my noggin we're talkin about and i dont want to take any chances. but a simple fall from 2-4 ft shouldnt be so exaggerated.

Or put it on the helmet lock on the bike.

thats how i dropped mine twice, tryin to get the d-rings into the clamp thing and the helmet slips out my hands. i was told to stop puttin the helmet on the floor because it symbolizes that a rider went down. *i dunno, i just dont do it anymore*

There can be damage you don't see.
If you keep dropping your helmet while putting it on the helmet lock you need to start taking your meds again
The helmet on the ground means a rider needs assistance. When you place it on the white line of the roadway (essentially asking for your helmet to be destroied by oncoming cagers). So, put your helmet on the dround next to your bike, which should be well away from traffic :wave2:

The rider won't be too happy when the newly established ant colony that crawled into their helmet starts to make a new home in their hair just as they hit the twisties.
