So your head didn’t hit the stone of the road, I guess that helps.
But, you still hit your head on *something,* essentially. The inside of your helmet.
All that force is still in there, right?
In: Physics
A helmet that is properly fitted should be snug to the head. While the helmet is hard, it is much softer than the road or a rock. It is designed to break and crumple so your head does not. All that breakage and crumpling absorbs energy. Energy that your head did not absorb. Depending on how hard you hit your head you will likely still have a concussion though.
