Can a motorcycle helmet be dropped and still protect?
Yes, but it is not recommended. Helmet manufacturers recommend helmet replacement after any impact to the shell. A motorcycle helmet is designed to absorb the impact and damage that would otherwise be reserved for your skull, but it is not designed to survive the impact. Any impact from a drop on solid ground (concrete or hardwood floor) can cause microfractures to the shell that are naked to the human eye. A good rule of thumb is this: If the impact would have raised a bump on your unprotected head, get a new helmet.
