attn all scorpion helmet owners, from what i hear the scorpion helmets are failing the dot and snell test. If any one could find details on this rumor i would be interested seeing that it includes the risk of mine and other scorpion owners life. Afterhearing this rumor i have switched back to my shoe helmet until i clear up this rumor

Really I've only heard good things about the scorpion's, where did you hear that from? Any one got any more info on this, I'm about to buy one myself.

it doesnt necessarily mean that your specific scorpion isn't good enough since they pick helmets @ random

Found the thread and the link is not up anymore. I did read it and it listed the Scorpion 700 I believe as failing a puncture test... so if you wreck, just try to not to impale your head on any spikes and you'll be ok.

They didn't list my Shoei helmet on there... but I'm sure some Shoei fails testing as well.
