old helmets
What are you guys doing with outdated snell rated helmets? Is there any market for these or do you just give/donate them? Any value at all? I have 3 open and 1 full face expired helmets.

Re: old helmets
I use one when I ride my Harleys and
Keep a couple of 2005s in my side x sides They spent years in my Air Conditioned/Heated/Dry Home = I think they are still plenty safe to use. They are probably worth a FEW bucks.....Just not to Racers.

Re: old helmets
Not long ago Travis Miller posted a very good idea.
He suggested to keep the outdated helmets around and with in easy reach if you live in tornado country. Most serious injuries are caused by debris hitting people's heads. If you have more old helmets than your family needs, donate your extras to other relatives or neighbors

Re: old helmets
My dad was cremated. On the day of his burial, all the family members signed an old helmet of his. The box containing his ashes was placed in the helmet. That’s how we buried him. ❤️

Re: old helmets
Like my old out of date seat belt harnesses, never had any trouble selling the old helmets to local oval track /demo derby racers. They will be stressing them more than I ever have!
