    What do you guys do with old helmets? Have an old one, and by old I mean it must be well over ten years old. I got it from my uncle who I think got it with a bike he bought a few years back. And neither him or me have ever used it. A mate said that in England he used to give his to the ambulance service, they used them for training.
    Does that happen here?

    think a mate of mine gave some to the fire brigade or ambulance for training, as in the last few months.

    I use my old/spare one when using the grinder or other power tools that create dust/dirt/noise.

    Makes a great peice of protective gear. Keeps out the dirt from eyes/hair etc. and some noise protection. Can also use one of those paper masks under it but nothing more sofisticated unfortunately.
