Um are they dead or have head injuries? Well, I guess that the lid did it's job!

That being said, I don't like Icon lids either... It's actually one of the only types of helmet that I don't own (other than a passenger lid) that I don't want to own. My passenger lid, top of the line Icon at the time, has had parts fall off it, quit working etc. I'm sure that it would protect someone in a crash but I expect more than that from a $300+ lid.

Haha that is one way to look at it. One of the guys has been in quite a few wrecks track riding and he said for how lightly his head hit the ground, the helmet was all but destroyed. Wasn't sure the helmet would have done its job if it had been more than a simple lowside at the track.
