A helmet fails if it cracks this failure is instantaneous, helmets are "tested" by dropping a weight onto the top which isn't where most helmets get hit but where the arch is strongest to skew the data . https://road.cc/content/news/only-1-...cussion-293659

It does not follow that the helmet protection failed, any more than it follows that vaccination failed because I got a mild case of COVID.
