AND... What is also not mentioned is that even with any helmet other than a full-face version, he still may and most likely would have recieved similar injuries with a face-plant to the windshield.

The main stream media is killing us already. What they missed is the dim bulb driver, a 62 year woman driving a tank, broke the law by failing to yield right of way. No matter, the cops like all cops accepted the famous \"I didn\'t see him\" and sent her on her way. This is the legal equivalent of \"I didn\'t know the gun was loaded\" except that it always works and that my fellow riders is the problem with this whole mess! Did he make a poor choice? I think so and regardless of state law, would never ride in any city anywhere without a lid. Out in the country, yup but not a city filled with morons driving 6,000 lb tanks and yacking on cell phones. Be prepared to hear about this for the entire NFL season. I for one will be watching the games with the sound turned off so I can enjoy it without some dumbass like Terry Bradshaw reminding me that all bikers are outlaws with no brains!
