You don't have to "hit face first" to need face protection. I was once riding through a parking lot after dark, and failed to see a telephone pole guy wire that someone had recently installed. The cable caught me square across the face shield and, even though I was not going very fast, pulled me off the back of my bike. Ruined my face shield - but my face came out intact.
