Have you ever had a branch slip in there? I never really thought about this as a possibility, but I was bombing down a fun trail yesterday with some tight trees and I came up on one that had a low hanging branch I kinda had to duck under ...... Well apparently those little vents that exist in the top of your helemt are up just big enough to allow a branch to fit in. D'Oh
Luckily the branch broke off before it totally drug me off the bike, but it gave me a pretty good tug backwards. I saw visions of me hanging up in this tree by my helmet and my Loco just continuing on down the trail without me.
Anyone ever have a branch totally disbike them in this manner?

LOL. Hey, isn't that plagerism or something? No worries. Use away.
My old Bell Rubicon pro was the worst for this. The vents started wide near the front then narrowed down towards the back so almost everything wedged in them.
i also recently had a rock fly up and land inside my helmet. i lost my glasses while trying to shake the rock out of my helmet. sucks to have rocks in your head!

I was JRA when I hear this crack! A tree branch hits me on top my helmet...Whoa! I was looking around for those tree gremlins, but didn't see any. It was weird, man.
