You can also fall over while walking down the street and hit your head with enough force to knock you out or even kill you. Again, what's the impact speed?
This 'helmets protect up to a certain speed' thing is nothing other than marketing bollocks. The important factor is the force they offer protection against, but a figure like 15N is completely meaningless to the average consumer.
