Abstract: A impact protection assembly includes a helmet that may be worn on a user's head. The helmet has an inner shell spaced apart from an outer shell of the helmet. The inner shell surrounds the user's head when the helmet is worn on the user's head. A pad is coupled to the inner shell. The pad abuts the user's head when the helmet is worn on the user's head. The pad absorbs impact energy. A gel layer is coupled to the inner shell. The gel layer absorbs impact energy. A plurality of bristles is coupled to the gel layer. The plurality of bristles extends toward the outer shell. The plurality of bristles absorbs impact energy.
