So your theory is that a static object affixed to your head, somehow
increased the impact force? Amazing!

I can imagine if you had a nail or rock fixed to your head and you fell
on that you might get that effect, but not something shaped like a
helmet.

The main lesson in this story is 'be sure of your support', the helmet
is to protect the brain, not replace it.
