I am alive today because of helmets. i hit the pavement at 100mph from about 6ft in the air then slid and tumbled from turn 8 to turn 9 about 100ft. i never lost conciousness, i saw the whole thing ground,sky,ground,sky,bike wheel, sky, ground. (ICON mainfame not the best but its ok dispite what some may think.)
just remember that helmet has been down, it MIGHT not work properly but it should be fine. it your head so its your decision.
