I was chasing a dman behind the net full speed and lost an edge, fell backwards into the boards making contact with my helmet first. I was unable to construct sentences for about a week. Without the helmet, im certain i would be dead.

The helmet may not be perfect protection but it is absolutely vital regardless of headshots. My situation, no one touched me. It was all my fault.

So lets not start beating the "legislate headshot" drum as its not the only culprit.
