It's logical -- carbon fiber is a weave and will collapse with enough force, which is what you want the helmet to -- and transfer the force to the padding.  The reduced weight would help because it means less inertia, and therefore, a better result on impact.

And if that's been the experience, I may just buy one today.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
