Correct answer
Yes
Yes. An impact can damage the structure or energy-absorbing material and reduce protection even without obvious external damage. There is no general 30 km/h threshold below which damage is impossible. If the helmet sustained a significant impact while being worn, replace it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If in doubt about a knock or dropping the helmet, consult the manufacturer before using it again.
