Each to there own, imo it's not worth even a 1% risk for the sake of 1 or 2 sets it tyres.

I have unfortunately seen a kid bounce down the track and hit there head in a msa approved helmet that badly cracked, the impact was from trackside was not that severe

I have seen a kid unfortunately my son bounce down the road and hit his head hard on the floor after flying through air, he was wearing a bell, and although the chin spoiler cracked and there was a large abrasion on the side of the helmet, thankfully he walked away bruised and daised.

Bell, aria have massive development, r&d testing, design facilities and budgets.

Put a budget koden (msa approved) next to a bell or aria the quality, finish, fitment is night and day.

A Honda jazz is rated 5 ncap, a Audi Q5 is rated 5 ncap, which would you rarther crash in??
