As the title sez, what does one do with old, used, out-of-date helmets?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