Based on seeing a bunch of helmet recommendation threads recently (here and on other boards) I'd like to ask a question...
Why would anyone want to use, let alone buy, an M rated helmet for use in a car? In the unlikely event that you were to need it, as your car starts to roll and tumble towards the nearest pole would saving a few bucks by buying an M helmet seem like such a good deal anymore? Good helmets aren't dirt cheap, but they aren't prohibitavely expensive either (certainly not compared to what regularly tracking your car will wind up costing you over a period of time). The difference between a cheap M helmet and a quality SA helmet is probably in the same neighborhood as a tire.
I don't know...Even though I may have suggested it in the past, after thinking about it a little more, I just don't see the wisdom of using M helmets in cars.
