Despite, or because of?Geoff650R wrote:despite their protruding chin, MX helmets work VERY WELL in face first collision with the ground at even 45 mph. I tested my HJC out to see if they could.
long story short, i hate emergency rooms
despite. my glasses got me 10 stitches, and i almost broke my left wrist. No concusion what so ever, only pain in my head was from the inch and a half long gouge over my right eye (see avatar). In retrospect, i almost wish i did have a concusion, i woulda been rushed through the waiting process.black mariah wrote:Despite, or because of?Geoff650R wrote:despite their protruding chin, MX helmets work VERY WELL in face first collision with the ground at even 45 mph.

LOL no, i hit my step dad's bars on my XR and highsided myself off. It was my own dumb fault for wearing glasses instead of goggles. Wrist was from hitting his bars, hand got caught some how, and i landed partially on it i think.
