Except my friend works with someone that just won $200k payout from Bell for the same thing happening to his 3r. So i need to know the angle he took on the case I guess.
The convertible helmets advertise themselves as "remove for a climb, then put it on to go crazy on a decent". The only reason the 3r isnt DH rated from what I have found online is the strap.
It's not like I went flat out into a tree at 120km/h, I rolled over in a soft berm and chin bar just caught the ground as I went over. I thought I was totally fine outside a bit winded until my mate told me to sit down. No other damage to body either. I am almost certain if I had a proframe on I would have been ok like the poster above with his massive crash.
Whats the point of a chin bar if it just flexes into your face easily. Just remember I am not the first person this helmet has fucked up someones face, broken teeth etc.
From Bells website:
"A removable chin bar makes the Super 3R uniquely suited to the all-mountain experience. Basically, you get two helmets in one. For long climbs, remove the chin bar and stow it in your pack. And when it’s time for more aggressive riding, you can quickly lock it on, no tools required."
What it should say, during the aggressive riding part, just don't have an accident.
