...and cracked the six-times Tour winner's helmet in two.

I've had two pretty hard crashes where my helmet smacked the road hard enough to crack the foam inside the helmet yet the shell remained intact. I think the helmet is designed to do just that and I can't imagine the helmet being in two pieces afterward.

My the 4 1/2 year old son cracked a helmet after falling last year. I wasn't too upset at having to buy him a new one.
