Impact force distribution
Helmets spread impact force over wider surface area.
Reduces peak force transmitted to head.
Outer shell distributes lateral forces.
Effective force reduction decreases injury severity.
Energy absorption
Foam liners absorb and dissipate impact energy.
EPS foam provides primary shock absorption.
Multi-layer designs optimize protection.
Extended contact time reduces peak deceleration.
Rotational force reduction
MIPS technology reduces rotational movement.
Brain injury often results from rotational forces.
Helmet systems minimize rotational impact.
Advanced designs improve concussion protection.
Limitations of helmet protection
Helmets reduce but don't eliminate concussion risk.
Some concussions result from internal forces.
Severity is reduced even if not prevented.
Multiple protection strategies work together.
