Very interesting article on helmet design, what it's supposed to do, how it works, etc here:

https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/gearbox/motorcycle_helmet_review/index.html

One or 2 quotes, as a teaser: "When the helmet hits the road or a curb, the outer shell stops instantly. Inside, your head keeps going until it collides with the liner. When this happens, the liner's job is to bring the head to a gentle stop—if you want your brain to keep working like it does now, that is."

and this one  :D "To prevent all that ugly stuff from happening, we wear helmets. Modern, full-face helmets, if we have enough brains to protect, that is."
