dude have you ever seen anything slide across pavement with out skipping and bouncing? the foam in your helmet is designed to slow impacts by breaking down and slowing your head... but it can only do this once as it doesn't "rebound" like other foam... even if it's just slightly indented (the indent may be between the shell and the foam and not your head and the foam) it's not going to perform at 100% it's your head... but I'd never trust that if I wreck I'll probably need less than 100% of the helmets capabilities...

I disagree.... just ship it to the manufacturer to get it checked out. They'll either repair it, or give you a good deal on a new one.

Yes... and from those blurry pictures I couldn't say whether just the thin shell surrounding the helmet was scraped up, or the structural integrity was compromised. My gut feeling is that the latter did not occur. But who knows, thus, send it back to Icon.
They will either replace just the shell and send it back, or tell you it's junk and give you a good deal on a replacement. Win win.

You mean like my living room? The top two were my *guest book* at my wedding last year.
