Bike helmets are designed by the Industry to meet the specific demands of the sport. The modern bike helmets are designed to meet the high speed impact, and to be light and cool. A necessity in such an aerobic sport. Thus maximizing protection and comfort without hampering performance.
You can ride your bike with a motorcycle, full face helmet on .... it will exceed the safety requirements, but if you intend to try to ride with it beware of the weight and the lack of ventilation. The weight will make your neck sore and tired, and the heat will build up very quickly and can cause heat exhaustion.
In the BMX section of Bike shops they will probably have a full face helmet that may be more kindly for your needs. I can say that I have raced for several decades. Had many racing and street falls, broken / separated shoulder, wrist, and endo's shattering my helmet(s).... but never have I had an injury to my jaw.... in fact I have never seen an injury to the jaw.
Check out the BMX stuff but if they don;t have the ventilation, live with a good standard helmet!

Which Bicycle Helmet Should I Buy?
BillBill
I'll be doing all terrain riding. Was looking into Giro, Bell...are there any other reputable brands? And also there are many choices. My budget is no more than $80.00 Thanks!
Answer
All helmets must meet the standards set by the Consumer Products Safety Commission. Look for a sticker or label to that effect for every helmet that you consider.
Every time I buy a helmet I go to a well-stocked bike shop and try them all. I buy the one that feels the most comfortable regardless of the name on it. So far, Giro has been the winner most of the time. My unscientific experience is that Bell helmets tend to fit better for heads that are more round than oblong. Giro helmets tend to fit better for heads that are more oblong than round. But, that's just my opinion. YMMV.
What do you get for a more expensive helmet? More expensive helmets are supposed to be lighter, better ventilated, and have better retention systems. One thing for certain -- you do get bling and more expensive marketing!
