RE: Helmet Wear
What kind of helmet? - if it's more than 3-4 years old and used on a regular basis I'd replace anyway as sweat from your head breaks down the saftey liner over time. Then if it's been dropped it may have damaged the saftey liner, even if it didn't leave a visable make on the shell.
What it really comes down to is: What's your head worth to you or your family?

RE: Helmet Wear
I'm no expert, but I would think after a drop from just a few feet your helmet is still safe to use. Mine's fallen off of my seat a couple times. I think the only issue is if the fall has engough impact to crush the impac-absorbing liner, which I can't see happening from just a few feet. Try contacting the helmet manufacturer and see what they say, although they may tell you to get a new one just to make another sale. But's it is best to play it safe in this situation.

RE: Helmet Wear
The owner manual for my HJC says that one good drop and the helmet should be replaced. Mine feel off a table on to hard flooring, but it was the face gaurd that took the hit so i'm not to worried about that, but if it hit the top or the side of the helmet I would replace it.
