Yes, the poor fellow was wearing an open face helmet...
You can't get enough protection when it comes to bike impacts. I bear the scars and damage of a stupid decision I took when I was young.
Quality equipment does save damage and lives.
It's up to each of us to choose our own gear and accept the consequences.

Fully agree.
I will never ride with open face helmet. Recently my Tour-X saved my head and other gear the rest of me in Indonesia when I had collision with a truck (well crushed my wrist which I am healing now in Germany).
Open face could be more comfortable when it is hot, but for me "It´s better sweat than bleed".
