Here is hoping for a speedy recovery.
As bad as the incident is, I have to say the helmet did a pretty good job. Taking a point load of that mass and at that speed tough for any structure. The fact that it hit at the edge of the visor and helmet shell probably didn't help matters. From what I remember the visors are supposed to be made to a ballistic spec.
