Some good advice from others.
Say you have an accident and you break a arm. A arm can be reset and after healing you are back to square one.
If you have an accident and you suffer a serious head injury due to a crappy or out of spec helmet, now your brain is screwed up,
possibly forever. Screwed up when you did not follow the rules, screwed up when you tried to play games with the rules, and screwed up
forever in a worse case condition.
It was screwed up once when you listened to bad advice and the second time because that bad advice (wearing a out of date helmet) MIGHT cause you much more serious issues in the future. Chit can happen mighty fast.
