I hear ya.
Have a buddy that did survive face road rash though, his facial scars remind me every time we hang out.
I used to be a sporadic helmet wearer until I bought a cruiser that just seemed to have a penchant for fucking up anyone who rode it. I bought it from a friend who had to get pins in his leg from a spill he took on it. My injury tally involved a fractured ankle, some nice road rash and a seriously bruised ego when I had a rear wheel blowout and went down a 7 foot drop off the side of the road into a tree.
Yup. Full helmet for me.
