Just in the last few years has anyone marketed a helmet intended to reduce concussions. Look up 6-D and some of the latest Bell helmets with "mips" i believe is their marketing term.
This topic brings up the old debate of some of the Snell standards being too tough and resulting in more concussions than DOT or other more relaxed standards. I avoided snell 2010 for exactly that reason, id rather take the higher risk of death in exchange for a helmet that scramble my brain less in a more typical fall. Long term permanent brain injury scares me more than death so give me the softer helmet.
