Opinions requested.....

What are your thoughts on flip face helmets?
I unfortunately work a lot of motorcycle wrecks and have found that it is much easier to get them off of a motorcyclist with suspected spinal injuries. I bought one for me but have found that it is heavy. Anyone else got one? What are your thoughts?
I've seen numerous flip-up helmets with their chin's torn off. I'll never wear one.

Here's one after a little low-side . . .

Looks like some sort of alien type headgear.

hey isn't that a G-Max or something? I noticed that the brand name was missing. Note: if you pay $59.99 for a modular helmet, it's probably not very good. In all seriousness, that's one of my fears with a modular and why they can't make Snell certification. A couple make it past ECE-22/05 though. The modular helmet is one of those ideas that when you first see it you say, "Wow, that is SOOO cool!" but as you look at it and really think about it, you can't find any real purpose for it.
