Cheers thanks for the advice. Did take a knock and stopped my face from getting more than the very surface-level road rash it did, so have bought a new helmet, but was just wondering if I was doing that needlessly, since the helmet appeared scratched/scuffed but not dented! I think a table-height drop onto the floor has also definitely happened before.. Just feels odd to have to be this careful with protective gear.
