Picture the the violence of that impact - sure it's "only" 50 joules, but to measure the actual impact you also have to take...

Ratings are based on tests with far more impact energy than you would ever willingly submit yourself to with a “DIY crash test”. What you’re saying would be like looking for a helmet with a soft shell because the stiff EPS foam is uncomfortable if you thump it with your hand 😃 A softer insert would just let more energy...
