Safer Helmets Reduce Potential for Traumatic Injury

“Seventy-five percent of all fatal motorcycle accidents globally involve brain injury, with rotational forces acting on the brain being the primary cause of death,” According to NHTSA. By implementing a novel helmet design and materials set, KIRSH Helmets is to working to develop a more effective helmet for motorcycle riders, as well as in other applications. A patented design, in which fluid displacement technology replaces the typically used foam compression, utilizes a silicone liner injected with fluid. The resulting structure reduces rotational and angular forces during acceleration impacts.
