    I should think putting one of those on a helmet is about the single
    best thing you can do to destroy the already debateable performance of
    helmets.

    Au contraire, I woulda thought that blinkenlights and attention-grabbing
    silliness would enhance one's chances of survival, and probably offsets the
    additional neck-snapping risk of the extra weight.

    World Domination? Just find a world that's into that kind of thing, then
    chain to the floor and walk up and down on it in high heels.

    I am indifferent to Slipknot, but Messrs. Nigel Blackwell and Tommy
    Mackay seem to think otherwise...

    Ha ha, you fool! You've fallen victim to one of the classic blunders!

    OK. The point of a cycle helmet is what, precisely? Oh, yes, to protect
    your head in minor impacts without causing you to overheat. That's what
    all those massively expensive vents are all about, isn't it? So these
    things cover up the vents, and cause overheating. But they do worse than
    that: they have an irregular, matt surface, which will increase the
    friction between the helmet and the road surface if you should get
    knocked off, which will increase the angular acceleration, which will
    quite literally scramble your brains.

    /If/ you are going to wear a cycle helmet for safety reasons, for
    heaven's sake don't use anything like this on them.

    John Prescott needs to improve the way he looks in a bike helmet. Do
    they make a deputy Prime Minister's model?

    All of those shown would improve Two Jags, especially if worn over his
    face...

    Kewl!

    I saw HMHB last night and they did a rousing chorus of "WTFH are
    Slipknot?" I wouldn't usually be so foul-mouthed in a public place
    but I do love a good singalong.
