Haha that's probably one of the better arguments for why someone should wear a face. If you tell someone "you will get in a crash and rip off half of your face," most people aren't going to believe that or they will simply say "not me, I'm a good rider." However, all you need to do is point out how many cracked windshields you see driving down the street and that should make someone at least think. If debris can crack a hard windshield just from driving around town, imagine what that would do to your face?
Years ago I had a van that had a cracked windshield... got it replaced. Not one week later it was already cracked again. Damn rocks.
