But yes, I realize that a full face helmet protects you better than a half helmet.
I knew I was going to hit the car, so I stood up a little just before impact and my legs or some part of my body still tore the wind screen and the front fairing right off!!! it kinda hurt, but I jumped up right away. didn't know where I was laying in the road. I was afraid I was going to get ran over!!! but the car (full size van) I missed in the first place, stopped and blocked traffic so no one would hit me.
