Sounds like your helmet may indeed have saved you from a disasterous skull fracture, but the fact that you're here suggests it didn't save you from a brain injury, which is exactly the strengths and weaknesses Mark was saying they have.
Of course it's better for people to wear helmets, but for me now any activity for which a helmet is worn, I just won't do it in the first place.
