One of the "coolest" moments in my life was at the end of a low speed fall off my motorcycle. I noticed that my field of view seems to be shifting around. Then I realized that it's my full-face helmet hitting the street. That's pretty cool I think as I realized that otherwise I would be enduring massive amounts of screaming pain as my face ripped off on the asphalt. As it was, the plastic face plate took all the blow and my helmet wasn't damaged either.
