Short of quizzing the user, you can't prove that they understood. But our lawyers and compliance officers seem to think it's enough to make it so that a decision not to understand is intentionally made by the user.

Like T&Cs, everybody knows that most people don't read them. Nobody's going to start quizzing their user, so what's a reasonable compromise? Forcing the user to at least scroll through some (or all) of it before agreeing. You make it clear that the intention is for you to read it, and that you're agreeing to something you should have read.

I would really like to see that challenged in a court. A company cannot reasonably expect their users to read and understand tens or hundreds of pages of T&C legalize. No one reads them. That's the fact.
