Yeah, it's a similar reason your wear a helmet on a bicycle/motorcycle, if a car hits you doing 50+ MPH you're probably done for regardless of whether you're wearing a helmet. If you go over your handle bars face first into the pavement doing 10 MPH it keeps that injury from being catastrophic.

Amen. Both sides of my head would be just scar tissue if not for motorcycle helmets. And that's just from sliding on the road, not hitting anything or being hit.

Have you tried not sliding on roads

Yes! It’s pretty nice! 20 years since my last crash and still riding. I guess I learned something.

Most of those were on the racetrack back when I used to do that sort of thing, though. Occupational (hobbypational?) hazard.
