As the title sez, what does one do with old, used, out-of-date helmets? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
All are past their "sell by date", some the padding has gotten unsupportive, and the visors have age cracks and hardware issues......all reasons that they were retired and replaced. Initially I thought to give them to neighborhood kids to play with.......but thinking about possible liability issues, I think not. It seems a waste to just put them in the garbage and they are really not worthy of display as they have no "provenance". Any ideas other than the dumpster? |

I was about to throw out donating them to your favorite sports bar for use as wall bling, but that could also lead to them falling into the wrong hands and being used, leading to a potential liability problem.
I don't worry about liability issues as much as I probably should, but if you are serious about ridding yourself of these and insuring that they will never be used again, you might want to think about sawzalling then in half and putting them in the trash. Or you could plant flowers in them in your front yard. I am sure the neighbors would like that! |
