I was wearing this helmet when in my cycling peloton I hit a mate's rear wheel , overturned , ended up under my bike after my head hit the tarmac twice hard and was taken to hospital in the ambulance with a broken upper leg . The helmet suffered severe dents on two sides , but my head and neck were fine. When I regained consciousness after the operation, I immediately ordered the same helmet from Mantel. There is no better test !
Landed on the side/back of the head during a heavy fall (approx 50km/h). Apart from some usual roast beef spots on the body, my head remained completely intact. This is 100% thanks to the Aether's Spherical mips. Would hate to do it over with a Giro Synthe or similar;). Sad to order a new one, but it's well worth its money!
