Over here in Aus, if we remove the approval sticker that makes the whole helmet illegal for road use.

It's not like it's even an option, it's the way they come. How is that being lazy or stupid? It may just be a development in helmets that people are going to have to learn to accept. Every now and then new stuff does come along. I can remember when people first argued that helmets may be dangerous to the wearer, actually some people still do argue that point and that only goes to show how resistant some people are to change. New things do come along and what used to be standard for us all eventually becomes as obsolete as jockey shifts and foot clutches.
Sorry, I underestimated the distance of the slide....I just re-read the report, they estimated 70 yds.! Now is it clear why a .10c buckle is just not acceptable?!didthetonatten said:.... but even so, have you ever heard of anyone being choked, strangled, or even getting a rope burn from a chin strap in a slide? I certainly haven't.
Well now you have. Read the entire post. I have a nasty scar under my chin from the chin strap from a 40yd slide...BUT the fu*&%er stayed on my head. D-rings on a Shoei, or equivalent Snell/DOT only for my noggin'. Like Tuna said, it's personal preference.
