57 years with glasses. Currently Progressive Transition lenses with helmet straps outside of arms. 2011 bike crash resulted in fractured C6 and right clavicle and compression with slippage of C5-C6-C7, helmet remained on and glasses flew off and broke.

I was at mile 11 of a half marathon and managed to trip. Nothing holding glasses on and managed a left side face plant forcing broken arm mount almost through earlobe.

When flying, on boat or coaster rides I have a split strap with Velcro allowing easy on/off. Will not use Croakies since I can't stand the strap hanging down on back.

Glass lenses have prevented many bugs from hitting eyes.
