Thing is it's only designed for ONE impact to a given area. Once it impacts (with a head in it) the foam compresses so it can no longer protect you.
The primary concern with dropping it is damage to the shell. Without a head in it, the foam is not going to compress... even if the shell flexes (and it does), without a headform inside, the foam will flex with the shell to a degree.
