I wonder if it would have stopped the car driver who ran into the back of me at 60mph, cos she missed the brake pedal and hit the accelerator? Hmmmmmm I think not. Unless it includes rear facing radar and anti-car missiles.

Be protected as best you can cos there's always some f***wit will try to kill you.

Anyway, back to the original question - Arai full face for me. Twice they have saved my life. One a rear impact (the one above) and one a front landing at very high speed. The helmet was a mess and I was concussed both times, but I had no other head injuries - no broken neck from the chinbar .
