      It looks like a full face motorcycle helment. People wreck on bikes doing 300+kph (drag racing) and walk away fine. It's all sliding. If you hit a car, or anything else then it's probably a death sentence, but if you can slow down from sliding it's just a massive loss of skin (given there's no other protective gear). Honestly a helment is always worth wearing when skating or biking.

      Riding @ night gives you the benefit of being able to see a cars headlights before you see the car. Street signs are highly reflective. Use that to your advantage.
      Theres a point of no return during the day. Where you make the decision to go and you just pucker your butthole and look straight ahead hoping theres not a car coming.

    In other words, saving knuckleheads will not be on their top priority list atm.
