Absolutely not true. Concussions are always a threat, and a helmet provides limited protection even in a high speed collision.

Helmets have limited ability to prevent concussion. What they do help prevent is cracking your skull or scraping your scalp off.

From experience I came off in London at slow speed an definitely had concussion that night.

I still managed to walk to train station with the bike which had a puncture - only in the morning when I got up did I notice I had dried blood all down one side of my head
