Firstly, glad you're OK ๐Ÿ˜€

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

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.
