My friend crashed on his Ninja 300 yesterday while coming back from a long ride. He was in full riding gear, so nothing major happened except for a dislocated right shoulder and a friction burn on right arm. But he doesn't seem to remember anything about what happened yesterday. And post crash when he got home, he was not able to remember the conversations we had and kept on asking the same questions over and over again every 5 minutes. Now he's okay.

He had a brand new HJC CS-15 lid and it was in decent shape post crash. It had minor scratches on the shell on the top as well as one side, one vent broke and the visor got detached. The EPS liner under the paddings seem to be pretty solid as well. My question - is this sort of behaviour expected? I had a head first impact crash 3 years ago (on a much cheaper helmet) and I didn't have any concussions and was still able to ride on. In his case, has the helmet transferred the impact energy directly on to his head?

(P.S. Forgot to take pictures)
