[QUOTE="SeanATK, post: 152173, member: 18192"] Shell damage is not the reason that you replace a helmet, after a hard impact. Internal compression of the foam/liner is what decreases the impact absorption qualities of a helmet, after an impact. The damage can't be felt or easily detected. [U]IF[/U] you bruised your forehead against the inside of your helmet, then the foam IS compressed and any future impacts to that area will have almost zero cushion effect for your head, possibly resulting in a fractured skull or at the very least a severe concussion. Frame it, Hang it, or Throw it Away, but DON'T wear it. [/QUOTE]
