No I would not have died. Like would have ended up with a mashed head or possible broken nose and possibly a broken jaw (regardless of a possible skull fracture). If I had run headlong into a moving train...yep all the naysayers are correct, I would be dead, helmet rederred useless. However hopefuly only the tree will be in my way.
Scraped the jaw piece up to the upper face plate and ripped off the visor.
