With respect, can we keep this thread on topic? I am aware that many cyclists religiously believe that their helmet saved their life. Many people also believe a bearded man in the sky looks after them, but only if they remind him everyday with prayers, because apparently he has ADHD or something. Let's leave personal religious beliefs somewhere else.

Photos of a broken helmet prove nothing. I could crash wearing a baseball hat, and post pictures of its ruined state. Would that convince you that it saved my life?
