Just seen this helmet on the Met website, it's described as a freeride helmet. Could this type of helmet be used in a Downhill competition in Australia?

It could be used in a downhill competition in Australia,
IF the following conditions are met:
- You could actually get one as they are not available here, and if they have been it was a couple of years back
-You are suicidal, as not only is it not really any more protective than an open face, but you have the added possibility of broken chin piece slicing/dicing/impaling your face and neck , nice.
In short, I wouldn't.
