How does it compare to the impression of a pedestrian's head on a
windscreen?

If they want to be constructive they should tell us about the
events leading up to the collision so we get a better idea of how
to avoid leaving an impression in the first place.

Thanks for the replies - hopefully everyone knows we would never,
ever victim blame. The rider has a broken arm but was wearing a
helmet which has undoubtedly helped to prevent more serious injury
and the original tweet just sought to highlight their benefits. ENDS

Just a broken arm them - no head injury, so the helmet had no part to
play in the collision. Poor police reporting.


Indeed. Eye protection from the glass is probably more useful.

Combining the damage we can see with knowing about his arm injury, it is
easier to imagine that his body hit the screen side on and the centre of
damage was his elbow, not his head. Short of having a full motorcycle
helmet, it wouldn't have covered the right part of his head.
