Our protective helmet has suffered a blow, can it affect its effectiveness?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Protective helmets are designed to absorb the energy of an impact through the deformation of their internal structure. If the helmet suffers a heavy blow, even if it falls to the ground from a certain height, its absorbent material can be compressed or damaged. Although no cracks or damage are visible externally, the helmet may have lost much of its protective capacity. For this reason, it is highly recommended to replace the helmet after it has suffered a significant impact.
