Giro Savant gets a big non-brain-damaged thumbs up from me, oh yes.
As you can see up there it took several big dings courtesy of the side and roof of a BMW, the door of a black cab and then the road - all within a 1-second window. There's more damage on the other side but its not as dramatic. Broken clavicle, and both the top tube and down tube of a steel frame bent all to hell, but not even a headache. Not sure that a lower-profile helmet would have saved me from the side impacts. Giro FTW.
