Full or Open Face Helmet?

[Tortuga_imp]

While I sport a Davida Jet or HJC pudding bowl for short runs along the beach and such during the summer, I mostly ride full face- Arai Corsair or Schuberth flip. After my buddy's 65 MPH tumble on his Thruxton last week (he's OK, shattered wrist and knee) and seeing the helmet, I'm fully convinced full face is the only answer. Pic:

Call me a lightweight, but "shattered wrist and knee" doesn't exactly fit my mental picture of "he's ok."

I know, right! Any part of me start getting 'shattered' and I'm decidedly NOT 'ok'!
