Important I think to mention, is making sure it fits properly. I've seen my son wear his and it is obviously not properly fit. Not good.

Yeah, I got my bell rung and I don't remember the immediate aftermath. No lingering concussion symptoms, so I didn't worry about it.
I didn't notice at the time, I don't think. I knew the shoulder was going to hurt, and that the hip was going to be colorful but wouldn't really hurt. I just wanted to get back to the trailhead before it really started to hurt and I couldn't do it.
Yes, proper fit is the big deal. And that it meets crash standards. I have a new helmet now.
