It was a public road, so no helmet needed.

That is the lump of Armco barrier that flew off the armco and struck my head, its a bracket from the C shape profile armco, that holds the barrier onto the cemented in post. The car was going backwards and this piece came between the rear humps, past the seats and struck my head,knocking me out. I have kept the piece,and am going to mount it on a piece of wood, it weighs nearly 1Kg.
