Helmet looks ok with some small scratches. There are no dents or other visible damage.
Thanks
Being knocked unconscious is not the same as fainting.
I banged my head hard enough in a crash to get a mild concussion (and didn't know it at the time of the crash) with the foggy head feeling lasting a week and I didn't replace my helmet since the damage was so minor and was almost not noticeable. Every crash is different.
