[QUOTE="davec, post: 1855028, member: 36373"] Yeah the connection points are typically what fail first - The small brackets that clip the suspenion to the shell. They can get small tears or cracks in them from a sizeable impact. They are all part of the suspension assembly, so a new suspension would fix it. You should inspect the clips closely after a hard hit. And the shell and the suspension work together to absorb the impact. Most of what the system does is spread out the time of the impact from what would be 1-3 milliseconds to 10-20 ms or more, thus spreading the load over a longer time and lessening the instantaneous (peak) load, plus spreading the load over a much larger contact area with your head. -Dave [/QUOTE]
