I just read some of stories of bicycle crashes and the use of helmets specifically one where the rider used an old style Skid Lid........the only problem, his eye socket was busted up as he had impacted directly on his face. Not something any conventional bicycle helmet can protect you from unless you use a full face motorcycle helmet. I read several other stories and sadly many of them would not have been helped one iota from wearing a helmet. Not getting hit by a car ( the worst) or crashing would seem to be the thing to avoid........... I'm just saying.
