Had the bike in for inspection 3 days ago and while I was waiting I was talking to some dude with a V star, I leaned against my handlebars where the helmet was resting and wham!! fell straight onto the pavement landing squarely on the top. Just 3 to 4 chip marks.
But then I immediately began to worry if the helmet was safe to ride with.
After getting home I sent Scorpion an email asking if the helmet was still good. I was hoping they would let me send it in for inspection but instead here is their response.. surprising.
"Thank you for contacting Kido Sports USA regarding your Scorpion EXO400 helmet. As long as the EPS foam is not compressed (something inside of the helmet) when it dropped it will be fine for one or two drops. After the second drop, you should consider a new helmet. We only offer visual inspections of the helmet; this facility does not have an X-ray to check for fractures in the shell and EPS.
If you have any questions feel free to call us at (888) 212-0688."
I got this helmet for a song on closeout last year, so I have already ordered a replacement. But what do you guys think? Use the helmet? Do you trust what this guy is saying?
