As the title sez, what does one do with old, used, out-of-date helmets?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? |

Repaint and use as light fixtures.
Regarding reuse, as a kid, I was biking with an used WWI Prussian helmet - Pickelhaube (no bike helmets back then). Really cool and the soldier who lost it was probably not in a condition to be liable of anything. BTW, the helmet was painted red as I got it from a makeshift fire brigade that finally got budget to buy new equipment. |
