You must be really susceptible to concussions to have gotten one from a "fall" that close to the ground! In any event bicycle helmets to date were designed to prevent skull fractures and any protection they offer against concussions is a freebie. Hopefully MIPS and future generations of helmets will do better.

I did some online shopping for MIPS helmets. I found two that are kind of close to my style, but the Giro, at $110, is kind of ugly, and the sporty Lazer that comes in RED is $270. Yow.
I've made only a cursory search but
here is one under $100, not red, and probably not your style but it says there is hope.
