Original Note:
A helmet protects by crumbling to absorb impact energy, spreading force over a larger area & time. If it stays rigid, that energy transfers to the head, risking serious injuries like concussions or worse. Effective helmets break to reduce peak force & prevent severe trauma. https://tallyphysics.wordpress.com/2015/07/18/bike-helmets-are-designed-to-break-on-impact-really/ https://www.smorescience.com/should-a-helmet-break-on-impact/
