Is your helmet fake? Specialized Evade, POC Octal, Giro, etc.

Are you riding with a fake helmet? Everyone knows about the fake Oakley sunglasses and fake carbon frames, but here in China there are even fake helmets. I buy a few (for science!) and check them out.

Are they dangerous? Can you tell them apart from the real deal? Here's a video of a fake being tested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alQY9MJr3o8 ouch!
And here's an article about fake Chinese goods in general: http://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/components/catch-counterfeiter-sketchy-world-fake-bike-gear

Disclaimer: I don't endorse using fake goods, especially when related to your safety. If you chose to buy a fake helmet and it fails when you need it most - I hold no responsibility. Spend your money wisely.
