Have to completely disagree Mbnut. I’ve had a crash straight onto my face sliding along the ground on my chin guard, thought I’d completely ripped the side of my face off the way I slid along and there wasn’t a mark on me (might have made an improvement right enough 😆 ).
My mate was following me that day and thought I was in serious trouble. Got straight back up and after being convinced my face wasn’t in shreds dusted myself off an carried on with the helmet still in tact.
If it wasn’t for the parachute I seriously doubt I’d have been off to the Alps the next week. My mate bought one after seeing it stand up to the crash and has been happy with his too.
Haven’t landed square on the front of the chin and really wouldn’t want to as I suspect it would shatter as described but would rather have that there than just my teeth!
Will definitely have a look at the other one for a replacement but also have to say the parachute has impressed me and saved at least one fairly serious injury.
