Here in NJ, the law will soon mandate closed face helmets. It actually already does but there is a temporary exemption in one case I know of. I've heard about the face shield issue with airbag deployment and this is a concern. Some of us wonder whether closed face with visor removed might be the best answer for HPDE.

In the end, there's always going to be some risk. I use a closed face myself, but I do leave the visor open. Maybe not ideal.
