I bought a Roof Boxer. Loved that dumb thing. Solid, built well (idiosyncric at times). As soon as I can afford the Boxer II, I'll look at getting one considering that the Boxer had venting issues that they supposedly fixed on the v2.

I think the "don't remove a helmet" thing is more for the lay person provider. When we (prehospital) take off a helmet we have three or more people helping. There are now tools that help remove a helmet with CO2 cartirdges and are making it safer. The key is proper C-spine protection. It takes practice to get it off without doing more harm. That being said, I ride with a flip up helmet so that at least someone can manage my airway without taking off my helmet right away. More thoughts. adal
