Only Full-Face Helmets Should Only Give 100% Protection (If That)

Helmets that only cover the skull and not the face / neck (such as hard hats) should not give 100% damage protection.  Clearly a strike to the face or neck would not be affected by the helmet at all.  Only a full-face helmet (such as a visored riot helmet or a motorcycle helmet) should give 100%. 

 

Even that is somewhat debatable, since a lucky hit could go under the helmet and hit the neck / jawline.  I'd say even full-face helmets should provide only 90-95% protection.
