  • Patent number: 9119431
    Abstract: An improved design for a helmet to reduce injuries caused by helmet-to-helmet collisions. The helmet has a thin layer of padding added onto the hard shell of the helmet. The padding may be textured to add “crumple zones.” A thin, rugged, low-friction exterior cover is affixed to the padding. In one embodiment of the helmet, the cover is separated slightly from the padding to provide air space. The air space, combined with the textured padding, provides a substantial reduction in peak acceleration resulting from a helmet-to-helmet collision.
