Why would you try and mod/diy a piece of safety equipment?
I agree mostly, however bike polo doesn't have specific safety equipment and that's why all the mods. Ice-hockey helmets feel heavy and cover a lot of the head. I'm sure if they were playing in the sun and on bikes they may look slightly different.
It's more about the actual helmet than the cage imo.
Though strength is a factor and hockey / hurling helmets have been built to withstand impact, I still feel that a modded cycling helmet 'could' be great...
