Slaughterhouse

I personally wouldn't trust my skull with it. I've had quite a few nasty concussions and managed to split a few helmets. One concussion was so bad I couldn't remember how I got down the hill and how I ended back in the lift line. I knew I hit bad when the entire liner of my helmet was fractured with a huge dent in the back of the helmet. I couldn't ride a straight line for a month after that one. It likely would have been much worse in a hard hat. I think the Bern hard hat exists for some park rats that don't like wearing helmets but need to wear them in parks that require them. I've even seen them toss on baseball helmets as the terrain park rules here in Canada don't actually specify WHAT kind of helmet must be worn.

Honestly? Being careless. I was in the terrain park at a local hill and just kept hitting this one jump over and over and over again. So I was getting quite comfortable with it and that's when I let my guard down. I approached the jump and just as I was about to take off, I somehow managed to shovel the nose of my board over the lip of the takeoff. So I somersaulted forward landing on my ass on icepack and my head snapped backwards full force on the ground. It sounded like a rifle shot which was the sound of my helmet cracking. I wear sunglasses and the impact was so great the lenses flew out of them. I vaguely remember getting out of the landing zone before someone else dropped in. After that I was standing in the lift line with people behind me. I can't recall to this day how I got down the run (Black diamond). This also was not a large jump by any means. Just a little kicker. So never assume you can't make an error on a small feature!

For future necro-posts, Bern "hard hats" are just as "safe" as any other "helmet."

Then why the "hard hat" disclaimer?

Liability issues. Brock foam isn't certified to those asinine "standards."

Certified = You can't sue us, we passes standards weee!
Brock = You can't sue us, we didn't call that thing a helmet weee!

Brock foam is actually pretty neat technology. Breathable + multi-impact.

hes right fellas...brock is pretty neato stuff, use it on hockey equipment quite often. i would say this helmet could definetly protect enough, but the liability of it not cracking is gone..
