I don't think you can always tell by a simple visual, and it also just depends how you land and what you land on, and the shape of what you land on. I am on my second tectal spin race, I had an over the bars crash on my first one and landed on my temple (right onto the part of the helmet that dips down a little in front of your ear) and it had a noticeable dent, but the force was pretty concentrated on that one area. I could see that if you landed on flat ground with the force spread over more area, you'd probably need calipers to be able to measure the difference.
In my case it was a freaking hard hit to the temple and no concussion (hit was hard enough to perforate my ear drum though). Hence I bought another one.
