In only accident I've had where I hit my head, only the very front of the helmet was impacted and a peice broke off.
That's
exactly what happened to me.

I favor continuing research to improve the protection afforded by a helmet.
When I got my new helmet (courtesy of Louis Garneau) after my crash, it was supposed to be exactly like my old helmet. But it was modified: the front part that broke away, which had horizontal vents in it, had been redesigned as a solid piece--no vents.
I'm glad someone's on the case.
