Original Note:
Helmets are designed to break on impact to absorb and dissipate crash forces, reducing the energy transferred to the wearer’s head and lowering the risk of brain injury. An "unbreakable" helmet would transfer it directly to the skull, greatly increasing the risk of injury. https://throttlebuff.com/why-do-helmets-break-on-impact/ https://www.smorescience.com/should-a-helmet-break-on-impact/
