Exactly! However I can live without another ferral ball like that again.
AND returning to my original point, you loose the £30 for the helmet, but thanks to Giro's policy you only have to waste another £15 on your second life. What's not to like!?
But what if, as the evidence suggests, you were actually at greater risk of brain injury or death because you were wearing a helmet? You were lucky this time but that £30 could cost you your life.
