Great news! Hope you never need it. Of course, if you do, there is some benefit. When I crashed and broke myself, I remember hearing the bones snap all down my left side. I knew I was in trouble, but the one bright spot of the moment was thinking "Holy crap! This thing works!" We got to the ER and...

My buddy's boy got a bad concussion on my watch after a pretty mild fall with a bargain Snell lid. It put him in the hospital overnight and impacted his speech for a while. So, I bought him a 6D, which his dad paid me back for. During his last race, that kid took a big fall when he was...

The reason to stay away from Tylenol (acetaminophen) and alcohol is because they are toxic to the liver. If you damaged your liver, you may be fine with rest, but you may experience more consequences. You spoke with a doctor, so that's good. She urged you to get checked out, as your friends have, and they are all right. It...

I know I sustained multiple concussions during my "career" in high school as a lineman on both sides. He is a linebacker and running back, so he gets hit a...

The 6D lid has undeniably proven to be better than the rest. There is no reasonable comparison between a Bell Moto 9 and a 6D ATR-1. I wish that were not true, because as much as I like the 6D team, I want more helmet innovation now, not years from now. I have seen data about the Moto 9 offered...

I think there is more awareness now than ever before about helmet safety, which is really just another way of saying impact protection. Let's face it, all helmets are safe. Wearing one probably won't cause injury, right? Not wearing one is just crazy . . . as I found when taking a simple test ride with my son's bike. I...

I purchased a 6D when my son moved up to a 250F and started getting faster (arguably faster than his skill level, lol!) His brand new lid was only a few days old when he took a crash that completely destroyed it. Long story short, he came home, did his homework, went to school and played football. It was like...
