I respectfully disagree with that statement. Fit is THE most important thing. If
you whack your head in a crash with a Snell SA 95 helmet, the studies have shown
that you could cause MORE damage to your cranium than if you weren't wearing a
helmet at all in some cases. The purpose of a helmet is to slow down the stopp
so your brain doesn't slam into your skull. A loose helmet will actually
increase the impact. The best thing anybody can do is to read the Snell
literature and ask the helmet manufacturers
