Let me start off by stating that I wear a helmet. With that said helmets offer very limited protection from what I have read. They mostly protect you from the kinds of injuries that produce lacerations which are not life threatening. The brain is kind of free floating within the skull and when a large force is applied even when wearing a helmet the brain bounces and hits itself against the skull. This will either cause instant damage or brain swelling which may lead to death. This is why football players continue to incur concussions even though they wear a helmet. They are continuing research hoping that with new technology better protection can be provided.Ok, flame me if you want.
Say what you want, the injuries would have been bad even with a helmet but it no doubt would have likely helped lessen the severity. End of discussion as far as I'm concerned. Don't be stupid! Wear a helmet.
