As a cyclist, I worry how this oversized helmet will perform in an accident. As an appreciator of individual expression, hop to it!

    Those fluffy helmets tend to get super fucking filthy super quick. I've seen a few of those up close and they all looked disgusting if you really looked at them. Which wasn't unexpected. I can't imagine they'd be easy to keep clean.

    The problem with these is that they can snag on something in an accident. In a motorcycle accident you want to slide, it's the sudden stopping that kills you.

    He's wearing a T-shirt, I think in an accident his helmet snagging would be the least of his worries.

    It's hard to live without a head. You can make by without an arm. I didn't really mean this guy specifically, just this sort of thing in general. They look cool, but make your helmet unsafe.

    I thought you were going to say that as a cyclist you worry about how it would perform aerodynamically.

    It's got to cost a few watts.
