Ive totaled 3 bikes. First one, a helmet woulda been the fulcrum between shoulder & neck that killed or paralyzed me, cracked 3 vertebrae anyway,,when I landed at almost 60 mph on grass on my right shoulder & side of my head, feet high, (think lawn dart) Second, no helmet, managed to not hit my head on anything 3rd, P/u turned left as I was about to pass him, went into the left bedside just behind the wheel opening, slid down the bedside & pasted my face into the cab corner, denting it rather nicely, according to the witness,, IDK, cuz I was asleep. Chin protector on the HJC collapsed in enough to cause a 2 stitch split in the upper lip, I was still having trouble swallowing 3 weeks later, because the chin strap got shoved back so hard.
Ya pays your money & ya takes your chances.. but I wont ride w/o a full coverage helmet,.
