I always wear a full face helmet when riding. But, the helmet only protects your skull. The brain floats in fluid and can bounce into the impact side of the skull, and then if you are really unlucky it will bounce in the opposite direction and hit the skull, again. I know over the years there have been members on here who have had TBI's. It's always a good idea to be checked after any head injury, even if you seem to feel fine. I worked with a patient one time who was really unlucky, he was hit with a baseball bat a number of times; so he had coup-contrecoup injuries.
