Hi. This is an old one. When helmets were made compulsory in the UK, Bikers found that the rear of the helmet could in some rare circumstances break your neck. Thats OLD motor bike helmets, from the early 70's. Modern helmets (esp cycle helmets) have the rear shaped to stop this happening. I've wrecked a full face MTB helmet, 2 open face mtb 1's, & a motor bike helmet. Wouldn't be able to type this if I hadn't had 'em on :)
