    Firstly, glad you’re OK 😀

    Now, let’s get this out of the way early doors –
    wearing the helmet made you ride more dangerously (risk compensation)
    it made your head a bigger target (rotational injuries)
    it may not have saved you (anecdotal evidence)
    your straps were incorrectly fastened (helmet moves and makes things worse)

    Oh, did I say glad you’re OK 😉

    You seem to have the ability to spell the words lucky and reckon knocked out of you, too. Glad you’re otherwise ok, though.

    What kind of lid was it? I split a Giro xen a few years ago and they gave me crash replacment for about a third of the cost of a new helmet.
