Wearing a (full-face) helmet in my accident in '03 is the reason I'm still here today. High-sided and faceplanted. As it is I still had extensive injuries (multiple broken/shattered bones in my face, lost 4 teeth, had to have 6 hours of reconstructive surgery and spent another 5 days in the hospital), but I lived.
