My point is that no piece of gear can prevent the damage done by impact all the time. While I wear a helmet I know that if a car comes head on and takes me out the helmet is probably not going to save me, but in less serious cases it probably will. I don't think people should feel immune to injury due to the gear they wear. I saw a documentary where a skier was crushed by an avalanche. The rescuers said her 1 piece ski suit was like a bag full of jelly, as her body was destroyed. The suit did its job, keeping her cold, as it did for the friend who was knocked out in the woods, but it didn't prevent or minimize the knockout.
