Note: Because of the thickness of the absorbing material in the helmet and the fact that the shell does not flex as the others tested, the protective insert can’t effectively reduce the forces significantly. Although the protective insert is not optimized, the preliminary results do document a significant improvement in the reduction of forces that the brain receives upon impact. What is important to note is that the protective device absorbs and dissipates the secondary forces impinging on the helmet so that by incorporating the protective insert in conjunction with a helmet can significantly reduce small forces with impulses lasting a few milliseconds. The protective insert (patent pending) can be used in conjunction with any sports helmet-bicycle, hockey, baseball, lacrosse, football, etc. The protective insert’s polymer is open and aids in removing the perspiration from the head while the headband design also absorbs the sweat. The protective insert is also reversible. Therefore, when the side adjacent to the head is wet with perspiration, it can be reversed to the dry side. Cleaning the insert can be easily accomplished by rinsing the product with ordinary running warm water and soap.
