Just playing devils advocate, how can this possibly have any impact at all on concussions? It does nothing to prevent the brain from hitting the inside wall of the skull.
For instance, a player is tackled and is falling backwards while is his head is whiplashed into the ground. The ground didnt cause the condition, his brain being thrust in a downward trajectory and abruptly being slammed to the interior wall of the skull will cause the concussion. How does this helmet stop that in any way?

I would argue intuitively that it reduces (not “prevents”) impact of the brain against the skull.
Like a nascar car hitting the safer barrier at 200 mph rather than a solid wall.

I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that more padding softens the blow,

You will certainly get an objective scientific analysis on a board like this.
