Is Headgear the Solution?
Forcefield Protective Headgear™ can be a part of your safety plan; only part of the plan. Forcefield Protective Headgear™ is not to be worn in place of standard safety gear, not cycling or playing ice hockey. Forcefield Protective Headgear™, like all headgear will not eliminate concussions. Headgear does not make it safe to play fearlessly. Headgear does reduce the impact forces reaching your head and your brain.
While you're learning how keep your body safe, especially when you fall, protecting your head is not always second nature. Helmets are already standard equipment in high speed collision sports, but may not be appropriate in all situations. Protecting your head is still, and always important. So, for all those other non-helmeted sports and leisure activities, you can wear Forcefield Protective Headgear™.
