PowerShield Helmet | powerX5solutions About Meet the Team PowerShield Helmet PowerGrip Gloves Contact About Meet the Team PowerShield Helmet PowerGrip Gloves Contact PowerShield Helmet When two objects collide, the point of most force production lies directly at the point of initial impact.?After the initial collision, forces are dispersed and/or absorbed depending on the structure of both objects.?With this in mind, the entire design of currently approved safety helmets for sporting activities, including the NOCSAE approved Football helmet, has their fatal flaw. A NEW APPROACH TO AN OLD PROBLEM Current athletic helmet designs have minimal flexibility and mobility, and a small capacity for force absorption. After analyzing the causes of concussions and evaluating popular helmet designs, we have come to the conclusion that to reduce the trauma of impact in sports, helmets must be redesigned. We have designed a helmet that is smaller than conventional helmets, offers more protection, using a mixture of 2 pressure absorbent materials, and is firm fitting, having full intimate contact with the head. Using this helmet will increase athletic performance while decreasing the potential for brain damage. As a result, this revolutionary design improves the quality of life and reduces potential future healthcare costs/burdens. Brain Injury Studies JAMA – The Journal of the American Medical Association “Acute Effects and Recovery Time Following Concussion“ British Journal of Sports Medicine – “Summary and Agreement Statement of the First International Conference on Concussion in Sport“ NEW HELMET DESIGNS FOR Football.?Baseball.?Cycling.?Lacrosse.?Hockey.?Speed Skating.?Nascar.?Winter Sports.?Extreme Sports.?Casual Activities (motorcycle helmets, construction hard hats) WHY TO USE EXTERIOR PADDING IN HELMETS Helmet designs have a hard, rigid exterior shell that was considered to be the best option for reducing brain injuries. All helmets need better designs (both in athletics and leisure). With the current hard shell, at the moment of initial impact on any helmet, those forces that act upon the helmet are transferred, not absorbed. This causes an inevitable acceleration?of the brain due to the sudden deceleration of the helmet & skull – this results in brain injuries. HEALTH INFLUENCES PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE DRIVES INNOVATION A slimmer/smaller athletic helmet design that delivers better player mobility. Two pressure absorbent materials are used on the interior. One is developed for long-term pressure absorption and comfort.?The second material creates a custom firm fit to the wearers’ head and absorbs translated forces. Interior fabric allows for ease of use putting on and taking off the helmet and is sweat wicking. Pressure absorbent material exterior offers impact reduction by means of absorbing force, giving superior head health/safety at the point of impact. Kevlar reinforced exterior wrap provides a reduction in sheer forces during contact, protects the exterior padding, and offers a sleek logo design for helmets. SAFER. SMALLER. LIGHTER. BETTER.

Emergency department visits for concussions have increased 62% between 2001 and 2009 for sport-related injuries (football, lacrosse, baseball, cycling, speed skating, etc.) ?
