Wearing a helmet with pivot points at the most likely impact areas is 
a bad idea. The extra weight and noise offset whatever convenience 
these helmets offer. The reduced strength in the most critical area 
is reason enough to stay away from these helmets. They're better than 
3/4 helmets, but I don't wear those either.
