Whole suits of leathers are excellent. I was on the back of my mates bike when he did a wheelie at about 40mph and I fell off the back and was sliding down the bloody road on my arse. Other then it getting a little warm around the bum I was fine and got up and gave my mate a right rollocking as if it hadn't happened. Totally bolloxed up my helmet though (remember that if you so much as scratch your helmet that it's advisable to replace it - My instructor had me bring my old one in and had a look at it and then showed me why... he tapped it with a hammer and the bloody thing split in two).
Yeah I think I saw a vid of a dude talking about how damaged Helmets are completely useless. Even if there's a small dent on them.

I'm talking about even a scratch can ruin the protection factor. Granted my helmet was very scratched but they looked to be all surface marks... turned out that it had also fractured insided as you can imagine my helmet was bounced off the tarmac a few times. In fact doctors like to see the helmet of a patient after an accident as it can tell them what sort of stresses was put on the patient's neck.
