How well does a football helmet protect against impact?
Can't tell if you've accidentally placed this question in the wrong category, or if you want to use a motorcycle helmet for bike riding. But basically any helmet is better than no helmet, but a helmet built for the intended usage is better than just using any helmet. In this case a football helmet is designed to be able to take several hits with lesser energy than compared to a motorcycle helmet. An MC helmet is expected to protect against one massive hit and then to be discarded.

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.

What are the key differences between a bike helmet and a climbing helmet, and how do these differences impact their respective safety and functionality?
A bike helmet is designed to protect against impacts from falls while riding a bike, with a hard outer shell and foam padding inside. A climbing helmet, on the other hand, is designed to protect against falling rocks or debris while climbing, with a more durable shell and better coverage. These differences impact safety and functionality by ensuring each helmet is optimized for the specific risks and activities they are intended for.
Do helmets prevent injury?
