I don't know if a helmet would have helped in this instance but I personally would rather have been wearing one than not.
It's a personal choice and it doesn't change my stance on helmet compulsion which is no! It's a matter of evaluating the risk. I mostly don't wear a helmet (never worn one on a recumbent) but there are some occasions where I wear one if I think its appropriate. That's mostly when I know I am going to be pushing the limits of my abilities and there is an increased chance of a fall or collision.
