Canadian Tire selling Joe Rocket

They've had Joe Rocket helmets here in Oshawa Crappy Tires for a while now, but hit and miss in sizes

That will certainly make it easier in underserved markets if they can make it work.

I was at Parkers when they were around and a woman dropped a helmet she was looking at. She was told she just bought it. Will CTC be as diligent?

Royal had signs "a helmet dropped is a helmet bought" I don't know if they still do. IMO you should buy it if you dropped it, but if it was a $1000 helmet??

What the sign says and what they can make you do are very different things. You can post a sign saying anything you want.

It could end up in small claims court but would it be different than dropping a china vase other than the obvious damage? The shop would have to show documents from the safety associations proving that a drop rendred the helmet unusable.

The woman paid IIRC on a lower end lid.

QFT - the store can sue you for the damaged item; but they cannot force you to pay, nor can they detain you until you pay...

That's if they even see you drop it.

Pick up helmet, try on, take off, drop, pick up, and put back in the box with no one being the wiser.

But that can happen anywhere.
 
Without someone's head in it, the likelihood of causing any serious damage (other than cosmetic) is pretty low.
If you dropped your lid off the bar stool, would you immediately replace it ? I think not.
 
To be fair, there's about 175 places along the manufacturing and supply chain that a lid could be dropped; that's why it's so important to properly inspect the ACTUAL one you're going to buy, rather then just grab the box off the shelf...

With any type of lid, foam will probably be slightly deformed but I doubt that would be enough to matter without a head in it. It is possible to crack a fibreglass lid in a drop leaving a soft spot. It has to have a component of bad luck though. I suspect 99% of drops would not affect safety of the helmet.

True. I've dropped my helmet from 2-3ft off the ground...didn't replace it yet.
