...erm...the scratch marks would suggest that you landed on the top of your head (or the helmet fell off and skidded along the floor).
What the heck were you trying (after just three days on bocks) to be able to land on your head?! =/ Any damage to yourself dude?
(EDIT: I just realised three days on your 'new' bocks isn't necessarily the same as three days on bocks. I hope you didn't bail a flip!)

Jason, that picture makes me feel sick. I feel your pain. Broken wrists (& incompetent doctors) set my Parkour training back two years. =(

I'm with Brendan, how the hell did you manage to do that much damage! Take it slow!

I think scuffing a shiney new helmet is not the same as hitting your head on the floor. Skulls are pretty hard but they need all the help they can get in a risky situation. I dont think the pictures tell the full story here.
Still, at least you are being safe and wearing a helmet, which is more than most other people do.
