Amen to that.

Mine's fallen off my bike seat several times and other than some scars to the once-beautiful gloss black paint, it's fine.

I do regret buying a glossy black helmet. Between the drops and stuff on my workbench rubbing up against it and scratching it, it looks far from pristine. My next one may be one of those matte-black or rubberized finishes.
I'd go for the matte black, the rubberized finish looks really nice but if your helmet isn't top-of-the-line that finish kinda chips off easy. Of course mine's a Gmax helmet so I don't know what that says about the build quality...
