Default Helmet Safety
Is a helmet safe after it's been down?



Just looks like scratches, went down onto gravel and dirt.

Thanks.

No, it gets weaker if it hits the ground hard, hell the Helmet companies even recomend getting a new helmet if its dropped from and arms height

What he said.^ But if it has snell 2000 approval then it is labled as "multiple impact". I just wouldnt gamble on the most important piece of protective gear.

Many helmet manufacturers will inspect a helmet if you send it to them. You might want to check if Arai offers this.
