As much as a tiny bit of me likes to see Specialized get the crap sued out of them (because they sue at the drop of a hat), this lawsuit is bullshit.
Mr. XXL crashes, admittedly his own fault, and hits his head. Because he sustained injuries, he sues for $10 Million. Hey dude, you'd probably be dead if you weren't wearing the helmet.
Part of his claim apparently is that Specialized sold him a helmet without MIPS, therefore they are at fault. That is like someone suing Toyota becasue their Tacoma doesn't have the same airbags as a Lexus. Hey Mr. XXL wad, you could have spent a little more and bought a helmet with MIPS, right? But you didn't. My heart bleeds.
