Old lids

[Supermofo]

Did I make up or have I read that places like the Fire Brigade take them for training?

Gonna get rid of my old lid but before I lug it thought I'd check if it might be useful in some way.

Some do, some don't.

You'd have to contact the local station. I think the ambulance service sometimes want them for training too.

You could make a nice hanging basket out of it :p

Paramedic stations and some fire stations like them for training in removal as well as cutting them off. I know Bemsee love them for rescue training as well although they aquire quite a few from crashed racers who then donate their trashed lids for training use.

As KFB said they make novelty hanging baskets which we have at the front of our training school

Have a look at lids and leathers appeal on FB. You can drop your old lid off at a local bike shop and it’ll get sent on to emergency services for training.

I've given mine to the air ambulance in the past.

Give the liner a bit of a clean; last time I did helmet removal (with the Fire Brigade) some of them were a bit choice (tacky to the touch and a bit malodorous). Cast your mind back to school when you had to borrow gym kit because you'd forgotten your own.

Yeah I took the lining out and washed it when I got my new lid, it's been in a cupboard since.

I'm still wearing mine!

Stick them in the attic along with the rest of the ‘might come in useful one day’ stuff goes.

The ceiling is sagging already.

Yeah this getting slung out is an attempt to cull that stuff!

I took mine down to the local St John's Ambulance station and they were quite pleased to get them.
