If the accident happened as you say it did, then chances are good when you hit the ground with your helmet, it was beyond tested design parameters of the helmet.
Helmets do not help with concussion.
Your continued ability to walk and talk probably has very little to do with any protection your helmet did offer.

The helmet haterz can't say it didn't help, maybe even in exactly the way you claim.

This exactly. The crash sounds like it was beyond the design conditions of the helmet, so you can't say for certain if it did you any good at all. Likewise, no one can say it did you no good. However, if you had concussion I'd get it checked out asap.
