Who has actually crashed a Charly No Limit?

[DRA]

There is a lot of debate on how safe or unsafe Charly No Limit helmets are. Many claim that they are not safe and would not stand up to a crash very well. I understand the argument that people put forward that they are not as robust looking as say a mountain bike helmet, but from what I have read, none of them actually said "I crashed this helmet and it broke apart" or "I crashed it and got a head injury". I was wondering if anyone out there actually had one of these helmets, had a decent spill while wearing one. How did the helmet hold up? Did it protect you or what?

tried the drop. still like my charly better. by the way, i've fallen at 50 mph into a guardrail and my head was fine in my charly. paragliding helmets shells are DESIGNED to break on impact.

^^^ heres one

I have. Good helmet. Its not going to work as well in an impact against a hard object like a tree, but it has helped me keep my head up in multiple wrecks. ITs not AS safe as other helmets, but for me, the lightweight and visibility is worth it.

that looked like a pretty good spill there Dubster. how fast were you going? did you smacked the back of you head? what shape was the helmet in afterwards?
