Using our own proprietary test lab, developed at the University of Simon Fraser, results show that Shield-X™ greatly reduces strain on the brain when rotational forces are applied. Testing using advanced accelerometers and gyroscopic sensors show that when a head form is impacted with rotational forces, helmets with Shield-X™ show significantly less impact to the brain.
Most helmets are designed, tested and certified for compression forces only (assuming the impact is on the top of the helmet).
In reality, most impacts induce compression forces and sharp twisting of the head.
The Human brain is one million times more sensitive to the sharp twisting.
