Original Note:
Helmets are designed with foam and hard shells to reduce the impact on our head. Foam- acts as a balloon to extend the impact time, reducing impulse. Hard shells- absorbs friction on impact, keeping the partially hard foam intact. Thus, helmets are not designed to break. https://www.smorescience.com/should-a-helmet-break-on-impact/
