    I highly doubt those helmet hats would stick to the ground.... the helmets that were found to be dangerous in that respect were the short lived (though I occasionally still see someone tooling around in one!) all foam with no covering at all models. The problems was that the polystyrene could actually stick to the pavement for an instant and in that split second snap your neck. They could be made safer by the addition of a lycra cover, but were still never a very good idea and did not last long on the market.

    The helmet hats have a slippery hard shell on the helmet itself and I would doubt that the hat covering would pose a risk either, even if it were firmly attached to the helmet, which I think it is not.
