Correct answer
Yes, injuries to the skull and brain may occur
Yes. A fall at 20 km/h can cause skull and brain injuries if the head strikes the ground or another object. Riding slowly does not remove that risk. A suitable, correctly fastened helmet reduces injury severity but does not guarantee prevention of every injury. On an ordinary motorcycle without the protective structure and seat belt required for the regulatory exception, both rider and passenger must wear a helmet; low speed is not an exemption.
