Yes, but it is not recommended. Helmet manufacturers recommend helmet replacement after any impact to the shell.
A motorcycle helmet is designed to absorb the impact and damage that would otherwise be reserved for your skull, but it is not designed to survive the impact. Any impact from a drop on solid ground (concrete or hardwood floor) can cause microfractures to the shell that are naked to the human eye.
A good rule of thumb is this: If the impact would have raised a bump on your unprotected head, get a new helmet.

Are protec helmets suitable for riding a push bike?
Protec helmets are mainly intended for skating/skateboarding. The main design difference between a skate and a bike helmet is that the bike helmet is designed to take one big hit and then be discarded, while skate helmets can take several smaller hits and still be OK to use. If you were to take a really hard fall, then a bike helmet will protect more than a skate helmet, they can soak up more energy. Still, the "wrong" helmet will offer more protection than no helmet.
