Some years ago I had a similar experience. I was riding along on slightly damp road and the front wheel just shot sideways. I went down like the proverbial and the next thing I heard was my helmet scraping along the floor. It also split but as it was a Giro, at the time they offered half price replacement as part of their R&D. I used to ride motorcycles when I was younger and sort of wished I had the choice to cover up or not until I caught a bumblebee on the front of my helmet at fifty mph. it felt like I'd been hit by a stone and the mess was pretty yucky! Boy was I glad of the protection. If the government can legislate for M/cycles I don't see why they're scared of legislating for cyclists. The sooner they man up the safer for cyclists.
