Philip, what I think you are missing is that most of us are genuinely concerned about your safety, moreso than you are.

Remember the adage "If it seems to good to be true, it probably is"

That $10 helmet could be used and have internal damage that you can't see.
It could be a completely unknown brand, with suspect quality
It could be a counterfeit of a known brand.
Just remember, anyone with moderate graphics and printing skills could fake a snell or sfi tag.

So just what is that bargain basement helmet, and will you post pics of it?
