I cant speak for hockey helmets, but Ive raced road bikes for about 10 years and had my share of horrible crashes. I feel that personally, helmets play a pretty big part in maybe not fully eliminating a concussion but in reducing the magnitude of one. Ive crashed at 70-80kph landing on my head and even if its proved that helmets dont stop concussions they are absolutely beneficial in other regards, and I dont think I would never not wear one.
