Okay, that’s great. But your not the OP?
No, you are correct, I am not the OP.
I wasn’t making any comment on the OP’s helmet. I was responding to the subsequent anecdote that cracking without obvious deformation is often observed, with my own anecdote about seeing neither crack or deformation after hitting my own helmet hard on the ground, which caused me to ponder how effectively my helmet had mediated the impact of my crash. One of the following posts suggested I had failed to see the crack in the OP’s helmet, so I responded to this post to clarify that I was referring to the condition of my own helmet after my accident, and not referring to the condition or efficacy of the OP’s helmet.
I hope this explains what I have written, but happy to provide further explanation if I have not clarified things.
