I have had doubts about the ability of a helmet to protect from
impact. However, you will note the head was spared from road rash. No
scraped off face.
I can attest that a proper helmet will save a head; won't ride without
one. Got rear-ended and flipped off the bike years ago. Saved my scalp
and possibly a bit of skull as the scratches were pretty deep....
A buddy of mine was buying a helmet a long time ago.
He was trying to decide between the $20.00 helmet and the $50.00
helmet.
I told him "Do you have a $20.00 head?"
You know, you can break most of the bones in the human body and heal up
pretty well.
But break the head bones - all bet are off.
