I know some drivers don't like the closed space, and the restriceted air of a full face helmet, and that is fair enough.
But I will never forget a case here in Australia at Bathurst in 1986. Peter Williamson had a rather massive crash at the end of Conrod straight, and he would have survived intact, except the fire extinguisher came loose from its mountings, and proceeded to smash his face in. Luckily he survived that one...
Also you see cases where drivers heads hit the steering wheels... without a full face helmet you are screwed. I like my face the way it is, thank you.
