Fast track: protecting sports participants from head injuries |
published in Issue 46, 3rd quarter 2013
|
Head protection represents a significant segment of the market for sports gear. In most contact sports, head protection is either mandatory or at least preferred. In recent years, a debate has raged over whether or not helmets could do more. Specifically, the question is whether helmets could do anything to mitigate the effects of concussion -- a frequent occurrence in contact sports which can have short- and long-term consequences for brain health. The report highlights some of the interesting product innovations in the market, including: Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) by MIPS AB; Phillips Head Protection System (PHPS) by Phillips Helmets; SuperSkin, Pure Carbon and Pure Glass by Lazer; CheckLight by Reebok and MC10; and AdiPower by Adidas and Ayrtek.
