[QUOTE="Metal Head, post: 344499, member: 7407"] I would like to make a comment. This is from the AXEL site shown under one of their helmet descriptions: "Protection is cool. Concussions, bleedings or worse scenarios are not. " Now not to put them on the spot but clearly this happened to Jordan, the design of this helmet with these open gaps is not IMO very safe, granted his seat broke and was not wearing a neck brace but his helmet was penetrated by the corner of this gas tank through this larger hole in the upper rear, that's pretty much where his head was bleeding when I saw the video. Making an ABS shell breathable is one thing but when you roll or jump and have the possibility of tree limbs, rocks, even things inside the cab penetrating these holes it is IMO time for a different design or a full helmet.
