Glad to hear you came out of it ok. Nice to know you the helmet did it's job - that is one piece of equipment I would be happy to replace. No matter what anyone else says, at the very least you have a lot less of a headache and didn't get scalped. It's a good thing. I won't go without it. I hate headaches.
