some people on this thread appear to be stupid. I said it protects my face thats it. see the scratches they did not get there any other way.

Which bit goes over your face to protect it?

That top of the helmet hits first. My head then remains horizontal to the ground and my face doesn't come into contact with the ground. Common sense says that's the only way scratches got on my helmet and not on my face.

Is this every time you fall off?

My forehead is behind the scratches on the helmet

The scratches would have started on my forehead and run down my face as they did when I wasn't wearing a helmet.

The inside padding on the helmet is an inch thick pushing my head/forehead back from the front of helmet

[QUOTE 3168901, member: 45"]Nonsense, in that example, unless you are without a nose.

I have a motorcycle helmet with damage to the chin part. That's evidence of face protection.[/QUOTE]
I have never had scratches on my chin. I win again. So you wear a motorcycle helmet is it because you have to or for safety reasons?
How did it get scatches on the chin? drop it?

Are you actually interested in knowing why some are not convinced of the value of helmets? Thus far you have only shown an inclination to tell people your opinions.

Correct I am not interested in knowing why you are convinced that helmets have no value. it protects my face while you and the rest of the anti helmet brigade say it doesn't. That really shows no matter what evidence is put before you for protection from some injuries you will still be helmets dont work. Why don't you just say "I am hard I wont wear one"
