> Me and my bicyclist friends have never injured a head while falling down from bike

Back when I did bike, I'd fall off and hit my (helmeted) head once a year or so.

I was always thankful for having a helmet.

Granted it was typically doing something stupid (jumping a curb or such), but still, I was thankful for having a helmet!

Can you describe the most common scenario of how your helmet got broken?

Once a helmet takes a serious hit, it is considered used up and it needs to be replaced. The interior protective core has been compromised.

Your username isn't?

I once jumped a curb and scraped off half the skin on my palms.

The down-voted comment of mine tells that gloves are far more useful than helmet for a bicycle rider. But I know I have messed with the holy cow so c'est la vie.
