You could make the same argument that hitting water at 70mph is going to be like hitting pavement. It all depends on how you land.
That said, I wear a savephace when the situation warrants it.
I've hit pavement and dirt faster than I care to think about anymore man, it's not how hard the object you're hitting is that is the problem. It's the fact that water will cause a spectacular amount of instantaneous drag on the base of the helmet the second you hit of you hit the water feet forward on your back. I've hit pavement from having bikes come out from under me, being hit by idiots who don't notice the bike at the stop sign, and from drunks who can't stay in their lane and run you off the road as well as MX injuries that have put me in the hospital and under the knife. Helmets have saved my life plenty of times and I'm a strong proponent of safety gear but to me, a helmet and water don't mix at all. I'm not disagreeing. I'm only saying that you could also land head first where a helmet would likely be beneficial.  I too used to race MX. I've hit my head more times that I'd care to remember even if I could remember them. These days I even wear one of those retardedly ghey looking bicycle helmets when mountain biking. Also, do a google image search using the terms "drag boat". See how many of them don't have a helmet on. They hit the water far more times than we do. There must be something to the helmet.

Yes they are good, but a helmet is superior.

I gave mine away for free and bought a helmet with a flip away face and it is the best thing I ever did. +1

I had one of the original ones and the lenses always fogged up in the cold rain or cool moist air. They sent me news lenses and they did the same thing. After that I started using a helmet and love it. Last year I bought a new save phace to use on light rain days. It did the same thing about fogging up so I took it back. It real dangerous going 70 and not being able to see since the mask fogged up.

Love mine, my wife swears by it. Had already bought them when I heard about the paint ball mask.

I quit using them cause they fog up.
I have found much better results with a cheap pair of ski goggles.

Never had an issue with ours. Fogging has never seemed to be an issue.

How do you guys keep yours from fogging up? I stopped wearing it because it fogs up. I have had it for 3 years or so and have wore it more on the 4 wheeler then in the boat.
