The brunt of the impact was taken by my left chest/shoulder. The initial impact wasn't directly on my head so the helmet is still in great shape. A few small paint gouges along the side, my iridium visor and some paint gouges on the rear (from turning over on gravel). I plan to still wear the helmet with its newly decorated battle scars.

Very detailed report glad you're OK. You might want to consider replacing that helmet, it's one thing to drop it without anything in it but when you crash with your head in there the foam does it's job. They aren't meant to be worn again after crashing.
