Glad you came through it in relatively good shape. I can imagine a broken nose really hurts though. It looks like the helmet did what it was designed to do.

I never trusted full face helmets because of something I watched happen once. One of the guys had just bought a brand new Bell Moto II. Everyone else on the circuit had open face helmets and his was quite the talk of the track. During his first race with the new helmet, he crashed really hard on some uphill stairsteps. He barely lived and was hauled off the track as a quadriplegic. We had benifit races to raise money and actually sent him to Russia for spinal surgery.

It was determined that if he had been wearing an open face helmet, he would have suffered a broken jaw and lived with lifetime facial scars, but because of the way he landed, the full face helmet protected his face but caused the leverage to break his neck.
