Any impact with higher speed or from a greater height and the helmet, no matter how expensive, won't make any difference.

So if I were to fall to the ground from a seated position while moving 4mph and my head hits the ground, a helmet makes no difference since I sit more than a meter from the ground?

Sorry, I don't buy it.
