if he was wearing a full face. but all a helmet really would have done was act as fulcrum in that event and moved the point of injury somewhere else in his spine
Agreed. A helmet would have helped prevent head trauma like a concussion, but a normal BMX helmet does nothing for neck and spine support. He would not have been worse of with a helmet, but it wouldn't have saved him from breaking his neck.
I also don't think that a helmet would have really helped there, but its definetly better to wear one :P so many different ways to fall, no point in really discussiong if it would have helped in this one case...
