The numbers are a very good reason to wear a full face helmet.

This graphic is what keeps me away from half-helmets and skid-lids.

The info appears to be from Germany so they could be monitoring several countries. No matter how you slice it a full face or modular is the only way to ride. I would hate to mess up my hard earned unshaven look doing a face plant.
