 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I have just bought a new ski helmet (Giro G10) and after wearing it for 5 minutes having just taken it out of the box for the first time a colleague of mine hit the side of the helmet whilst I was wearing it with the palm of her hand quite firmly and I'm now worrying if I now need to go and get a replacement helmet as people are saying that you should get it replaced after any impact. What are your thoughts?

Does your colleague look like this?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

no, thankfully  lol... she didn't quite have that expression on her face and was wearing clothes, but it was fairly strong and enough to get quite a surprise, i guess that's why i'm worried

actually it was the side of her hand as I have just asked her, and she had closed her fist, like if you were going to bang the table, for me when I close my fist like that the side of my hand feels quite firm but spongy as well i guess, i told her i'd been asking on forums for advice about it because I was worried and she just laughed at me... grrrr

ok so the final conclusion to this post is that a thump to the side of the helmet whilst wearing it using the side of a closed fist from a colleague at work taking the wee wee is not significant enough that i will have to replace it? for some reason i just can't let this one go very easily, have been awake during the night thinking about it even though i said i was seeing sense... arrggh

bendiddley, ... have you stitched the little button on the side for an eye yet?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
|
clearly said thump has caused significant trauma, replacing the helmet is secondary in this case

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED ANY OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING?:
Wearing a ski helmet in the office is a punishable offence. Your female friend was only doing her duty -did you factor this in?
You were lucky not to get cellotaped in permanently.
Photos of said helmet are bound to be posted on the internet, thus potentially ruining your "cool" status for many years-especially if you are on the phone!
Offices can be a hazardous environment -have you considerd as an alternative a FIA approved F1 race helmet with built in fire extinguishers and optional neck brace?
Have you any plans to wear the helmet for skiing, or will you just use it for commuting?
Lastly: Congratulations on buying a great helmet: Did you get the Cyan?

ok dudes, i think i have finally put this one to rest. having laughed out loud at much of the feedback I have received today i am now feeling a lot better you'll be pleased to hear! I definitely don't think I'll need another helmet to protect my helmet lol (loved the example provided) and also the other recommended office-use body amour, but i might just adopt the pose of the bruce lee pic at the top of this post the next time that woman comes any where near my desk again!
