    I recall going to a fatal motorcycle crash one night where the guy's (very old) helmet strap broke and he face-planted onto the road. I don't need to elaborate. Pays to buy good helmets and replace them once they age.

    i recall going to a fatal where the guys full face helmet stayed on his head.

    unfortunately his head wasn't connected to his body.

    those full face helmets are dangerous......
