I've been mountain biking for years. I've broken 2 helmets in crashes, due to hitting the ground hard. One did result in a concussion, but I was fine the other

  And yet, strangely enough, I've gotten into online arguments with people who argue that because the helmet broke it didn't do its job, and therefore wasn't worth wearing. This line of thought utterly escapes me. One wonders if they'd look at a modern automobile that was mangled nearly beyond recognition in a terrible wreck, but that allowed its passengers to escape with only minor injuries, and say that it didn't do its job, and that they may as well have just been standing there and been struck by a car going highway speed and turned out just the same.
