Likely because once a helmet has an impact, even falling from your bars to the ground, it should be disposed off.

If a helmet is supposedly damaged from a fall on its own, then it wasn't gonna help you much, LOL. Thats sales and risk management B.S

Just seems like a bad idea.
So that it doesn't become a rain bucket?

Scratches is one advantage of laying a helmet on the ground.

I'd never put mine on the ground. I hang it from my right grip.
