I got this via whatsapp, so apologies if this belongs to someone here or that you know. also apologies if it is disrespectful if the person did not survive.

now, this helmet is pretty beat up, and I have friends that want to criticize the brand, but I disagree.

discuss?
I believe at some point anything will break, but I also believe a helmet is created like a car with crumple zones. its supposed to break rather easy and to thus absorp impact?
correct?
is there any articles maybe on helmet design available?
please let this not be a brand bashing thread, again anything will break, we dont know how hard this person fell.
