Hmm ok, but you'd think the manufacturers would have ironed those little flaws out

like I say, its very rare. You think its clipped in, and its not.
I don't put my gloves on til I've put my lid on, so its nowt to do with having fat glove fingers. Last time it happened was last year on NW3, came out of Aber and thought that feels odd, Pete n Lissa thought there were summat wrong with my bike when I pulled over

A bit like when you clip the dog on the lead only for it not to be if you know what I mean

That might have something to do with why the premium lid manufacturers stick to double D ring fasteners.

Can't say I do, I make damn sure the lead is securely clipped on my dog, can't take those risks with Alsatians lol. Either way, its a shoddy job if the clips fail like that, tis a matter between life and death, or life and severe disfigurement more likely, it should work first time, no excuses.

so do cheapies like Nitro

Shark is a well known and good manufacturer, who don't use DD clips. Anyways I ain't getting in the arguement about helmet clips, its happened a couple of times, and a rarity as I've said already

Been gone and just saw this.
Sounds like a nasty crash.
GWS... Glad you're doing as well as you are.
Could have easily been much worse.
