Did a sprint tri today in Naperville, IL. On the bike to run transition laid my LG Rocket on the aerobars hooking it with the straps. I was on the end of the rack next a curb and grass. Came back to collect my bike and the helmet was on the ground with the cover shattered. Apparently the guy next to me knocked it off while racking his bike and kicked it when it fell to the ground. Another racer got it and set it to the side. I’m assuming it’s toast and I’m just SOL. Is this even worth pursuing–the racks were numbered so I know who did it. Next time I’ll make sure the new helmet is more securely fastened.
if the shell of the helmet “shattered” from a just a static fall of the helmet by itself from your bars to the curb, you should thank your lucky stars that you didn’t fall from your bike at speed with your head in the helmet.
and i would contact LG for a warranty replacement …
