...erm...the scratch marks would suggest that you landed on the top of your head (or the helmet fell off and skidded along the floor).
What the heck were you trying (after just three days on bocks) to be able to land on your head?! =/ Any damage to yourself dude?
(EDIT: I just realised three days on your 'new' bocks isn't necessarily the same as three days on bocks. I hope you didn't bail a flip!)

Jason, that picture makes me feel sick. I feel your pain. Broken wrists (& incompetent doctors) set my Parkour training back two years. =(

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

I think scuffing a shiney new helmet is not the same as hitting your head on the floor. Skulls are pretty hard but they need all the help they can get in a risky situation. I dont think the pictures tell the full story here.
Still, at least you are being safe and wearing a helmet, which is more than most other people do.
