Common sense really. I thought everyone knew the helmet wasn't supposed to be loose, but snug.
I remember watching that crash at Mugello live. Frightening indeed. I wonder how many anti helmet twits would argue wearing no helmet would have been better for either of the riders from that video.

Bet he had a horrific headache after those head blows. I hate wearing a full face and generally only wear it during the winter to keep the cold out.
The fullface really does take some (alot) of my enjoyment of riding away. Just a different feel to have your face in the wind. So I wear a 1/2 most of time.
I have learned to buy my helmets a bit snug. They have a good 10% breakin factor so after some riding they fit the way they should.

Me? I wear a 1/2, 3/4, or a Shoei X-11 full-face depending on my mood.

Repost but a good post. Should be at the top of the new "knowledge base" or made into a sticky.
