Well, considering the design of the web site I'm not surprised that it didn't jump out at you. Sometimes folks seem to be more focused on splash and less on usability when they design their sites.

It's kinda an interesting idea. I bet it benefits them cause they can do research on the used helmet to see where any damage occurred and any possible weak points in the helmets design. As any scientist/engineer knows, the only true proof of concept is in real life experiences. And the consumer benefits cause they get a new helmet!

I've crashed a few helmets. One was a Giro. I took it back to my LBS. They gave me a new one. I'm not sure what they did with my old one. I don't think this is Giro's regular policy, but I'm lucky that my LBS takes very good care of me!

I broke a Giro Atmos earlier this year, but I don't have a reciept for it, so I never bothered to send it in. In any case the Specialized helmet that I had to pick up since I was out of town for a race when I broke my Giro seems to be better shaped for my head so I'm sticking with it.

I crashed in my Gire E2 last December. I contacted Giro about their replacement policy. I was given a 30% discount on any Giro helmet, directly through them and did not have to send in my helmet. To prevent someone from using the helmet I was told to cut the straps before throwing it out. It was a quick and easy process. You will need the information from the laben inside the helmet.

I guess the UK policy may be different from the US one, but when I crashed my Giro I had to send in my crashed helmet, a copy of the receipt for said helmet (which, amazingly enough, I had squirreled away), a cheque for half the retail value of my helmet and a detailed account of how the crash occurred. Then they send back the same model of helmet or an equivalent if they no longer make that model.
I think they must have liked my story, eh - they never cashed my cheque.
