Helmet question
Derk 7 April 2005 15:50:23
	Hi, I have had a Giro helios helmet for 5 years. I used it nearly every day, but it doesn't have a scratch yet. Is it really necessary to replace a helmet after 5 years or is it just a story to sell more helmets? Greets, Derk

I hit a curb with my head, and there was only a small dent and scratch on the outside. But the styrofoam on the inside was compressed on two of the ribs. As long as the styro isn't compressed it should work, and hope you don't have to have test it out. BTW, if you do take a hit in the head, the helmet will not prevent the resulting headache, so bring some aspirin too.

If the foam seems sound, I'd keep using it. Neither of my helmets is newer than that, and I'm not worried. As for why they recommend the 5 year replacement cycle, I suspect that this is the life expectancy of a helmet in daily use in the environment that is likely to degrade it most quickly. If that's the case, then they'll tell everyone to replace their helmet at 5 years so that the worst-case helmets will not stay in service. When inspecting the helmet, look at the material in the slots. If grainy sand-like particles are forming on the surface of the foam there, and particularly if they're able to be rubbed loose easily, then it might be time to think about replacing the helmet; that grainy powder is a sign that the plastic is starting to degrade. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug.

Mine is really like the ones you see new in a store, so I'll keep using it. It will always be better than wearing no helmet at all. Most riders I see here never wear a helmet. It would be interesting to see in bicycle magazine tests, though, if old helmets tend to fail or are still as good as new . Thanks, Derk

There's a report here: http://www.bhsi.org/biker.htm of a test done on a ten year old sun-yellowed Bell Biker that showed it still performed about the same as when new. Don't know of any more recent tests.

Aspirin might make any bleeding in your brain worse.
