Sounds like it absorbed and dissipated the energy of your crash quite effectively.

That said, I have a Giro Pneumo. I like the fit better than the Atmos, and the other helmets my LBS had just didn't "do it" for me.
OH, I just didn't know if it cracked because I bought the base model Giro...I think it was like $29.00. Granted $29.00 only let me have a mild concussion and no brain damage, but I was just curious as to the other brands.

I'm going to spend more this time and just wanted feedback from ya'll! Thank you so much for the feed back by the way!! We are going to a different LBS and I'm going to try some different types on. I know that when I hit the ground my helmet shifted and I didn't realize til the E.R. pointed out that I had bruises above my hairline and at the back of my neck, I need a helmet to fit better, which is difficult because I'm not kidding ya'll I have a HUGE head! I can't wear women's they are to small, sad but true. Wish it was ALL brain that I could use!!
Anyway, thank you all again for the input, Nashbar has a Giro I REALLY like, but I won't buy anything I can't try on, especially with this LARGE cranium!
