This is a nice article that discusses the fact that helmets do not prevent concussions.
The type of helmet worn did not have an impact on sustaining a concussion, or the amount of time lost in the case of sustaining a concussion.
This reinforces the fact that helmets are not able to prevent a concussion, although they can prevent other head and facial injuries.
A lot of concussion prevention is strength, awareness and proper technique training. Focusing on those aspects of prevention may be more beneficial than strapping on a new helmet and thinking you are safe.
