I'll post up some pics soon of what my full-face DOT-approved(which I know doesn't really mean much) motorcycle helmet that I was wearing, looks like. My head would have been mush, if I was not wearing it.
Yeah. Everyone has a, "my helmet saved my life!" story, but the stories don't line up with the facts.
Helmets prevent minor injuries, and that may be the reason there hasn't been a drop in recorded injuries with the rise of helmet use. Minor injuries are most often, not reported.
