    How many times can a gorilla be hit in the head with a full faced
    motorcycle helmet before the helmet needs to be replaced?
    There is no visible damage to the helmet but...
    Gorilla was hit hard about 6 times to the head.
    :p

    Is this an African or European gorilla?

  3. Motorcycle helmets are designed to prevent head injuries, therefore it
    is no surprise that the gorilla wasn't severely injured. The helmet did
    its job.

    However, helmets should replaced after an incident where a head may have
    been hurt. It therefore seems likely that you will have to replace your
    helmet - about 6 times.

    Glad to have been of help.

    It could grip the helmet by the husk...

    How does the gorilla know that it was six times ?

    Can they count ?

    Sometimes the only way to tell them apart is that the bike rider usually has
    fresh drag marks across the knuckles!

    depends whos asking, if your the gorilla, its fine,
    if your the bike rider, were you wearing it at the time of the incident?

    perhaps you should trade your helmet in for some kinda anti ape device.

    Are you seriously suggesting that helmets *migrate*?!

    Sure. Not as often or as far as occy straps, but they certainly seem
    to have migratory patterns involving not being where you put them....

    It's all to do with weight ratios.

    Now.. pack it in you two. If it's not the bl-argh-tee treaty of
    utrecht
    it's the bl-argh-tee binomial theorem.
