Answer:

Apparently, the softer inside part (sorry if this isn't that you're talking about) is used to absorb energy

Explanation:

"The hard shell is designed to spread the force of an impact over a broader area so your skull is less likely to fracture, while the soft liner is meant to squeeze inward and absorb the impact energy, so less of it is transmitted to your head."
