I'd say that helmet did it's job and worked perfectly. Put that one on the shelf as a reminder that no matter how careful we are it's still dangerous out there.

Not getting on you, but did you have any other gear on.

A small hit on the head is enough to have a blackout.
Last year I was wondering half a year in which corner of the track (slovakiaring) I crashed:

This year i figured out which corner it was by looking at the gravel and there was only one possible corner.
No injuries, just a bit dizzy why I decided not to get my bike ready again for the race later.
Thats why I like racing on the track - you crash at 150km/h and in best case you lift up your bike and ride it back to the paddock.

I hope you get well soon.
My bikes:
RD500 YPVS 1GE
RD350 YPVS 31K 1985
Honda CBR 1000 RR SC57
Yamaha R1 RN04

Of course! :smt018

Abrasion and bruising on my right shoulder and bicep without much damage to the jacket.

Right ring finger on the glove scraped and blew out the stitching, then my finger poked through the glove and got ripped up.

At some point, I think I was sliding backwards (feet first), and my jacket pulled up and rashed my belly. My t-shirt was grinded full of holes.
