I've been wearing a skid lid for four years (I also race with one).
I've fortunately never had to test it; my most serious accident
was falling over because I got my "toes trapped". Anyway my question
is this : how unsafe is a skid lid? Is it really as bad as a leather
hairnet? Does anyone know of serious head injuries sustained while
wearing one? Could these have avoided by wearing a full protection 
helmet?
Please post answers to the net. I beleave there are many "skid liders"
out there. All this talk about helmets has got me worried.
