Motorcycle helmets are made out of two different kinds of materials. The outer shell is made out of Aerodynamic fiberglass with an ABS/Polycarbonate alloy chin bar. In the event of a crash or fall the outer shell protects your head from punctures and abrasions. The inner liner is made out of styrofoam that is designed to crush as your head hits the liner. As your head hits a hard object its momentum is stopped quickly and then your brain also moves against your skull. The styrofoam compacts to reduce the impact of your head against the helmet and your brain against your skull protecting you from brain injury. I hope this helped you understand the importance of wearing a helmet whenever you ride a motorized vehicle.
