Soft Shell Cycling Helmet for Head Protection

Heimdall Protective Tech凭借其大规模冲击技术拥有一种独特的、灵活的塑料减震材料。这个项目将应用这种定制的技术作为插件，创造一种保护性的软壳头盔，用于自行车和其他NMT。**头部保护是我们正在解决的基本需求。**与其他形式的交通工具相比，在事故和伤害更多的地方，骑自行车的人的安全是至关重要的，因为头部受伤和颅骨骨折是最难处理的骨折。根据精神健康中心发表的研究，每年全国外伤性脑损伤的费用总计150亿GB。由于头部受伤的医疗费用和使用稀缺的资源，增加防护头盔的佩戴将减少紧张和不必要的成本，在检测期间，例如新冠肺炎爆发或类似的流行病。通过原型，演示，试点，测试和验证，这一变革性的产品可以满足基本的安全要求，新冠肺炎强调，**但最重要的是适用于一般的社会需求，由于新冠肺炎大流行已大幅增加**将此产品推向市场，并增加防护头盔将减少伤害新的防护头盔将具有帽子风格，并满足几种不同的现代需求：1\。传统的自行车头盔是刚性的“一击设计”，应该在碰撞后更换，或者如果掉下时有足够的力量造成结构损坏(RoSPA)。这是一种多次冲击的产品，可以反复使用。它是灵活和可折叠的，非常适合娱乐和通勤自行车市场以及NMT3。它可以机洗，既能保持清洁和新鲜，又能杀灭微生物，防止感染传播。软壳头盔在市场上是一种不那么笨重、更舒适、更实惠的产品，同时仍然保持并实际上增强了高水平的保护。RoSPA和英国自行车协会认为，强制佩戴自行车头盔将阻碍骑自行车。对戴头盔的一些阻力是目前头盔的美观和笨重。对于年轻的骑自行车和滑板的人来说，披肩风格是更有吸引力的选择，而传统的帽子风格适合所有年龄段的人，而不是目前可用的笨重的实心贝壳。自行车头盔是100%可回收的，而传统的实心泡沫头盔不能。塑料是一种原始产品，可重复使用，用于制造它的目的。这种织物不使用溶剂或粘合剂，并且可以像其他织物一样进行回收利用。

Heimdall Protective Tech, with its Mass Impact Technology has a unique, flexible plastic shock absorbing material. This project will apply this bespoke technology as an insert to create a protective soft shell helmet for use in cycling and other NMT.**Head protection is a fundamental need which we are addressing.**The safety of cyclists is of paramount importance where there are more accidents and injuries compared to other forms of transport, recognising head injuries and skull fractures as the most difficult fractures to deal with.Traumatic brain injury costs a total of £15billion nationally every year according to research published by Centre for Mental Health.With healthcare costs for head injuries and using scarce resource, increased wearing of protective headwear will reduce strain and unnecessary cost to our NHS during testing times e.g. Covid-19 outbreak or similar pandemics.Through prototyping, demonstrating, piloting, testing and validation, this transformational product could meet an essential safety requirement, highlighted by COVID-19, **but most importantly applicable to general societal needs which have dramatically increased as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic**Getting this product to market and increasing protective headgear wear will reduce injuriesThe new protective headgear will have a beanie style and address several different needs in these modern times:1\. Traditional cycling helmets are rigid '1 hit designs' and should be replaced after a collision or if dropped with enough force to cause structural damage (ROSPA). This is a multiple impact product which can be used time and time again.2\. It is flexible and foldable, ideal for the recreational and commuter cyclist market as well as the NMT.3\. It is machine washable, enabling cleanliness and freshness as well as killing microbes, preventing infection spread4\. The soft shell helmet is a less bulky, more pleasant, comfortable and affordable product in the marketplace whilst still maintaining and indeed enhancing high levels of protection5\. ROSPA and Cycling UK believe that enforcing cycle helmet wear will discourage cycling. Some of the resistance to wearing helmets is the aesthetic and bulky nature of current helmets6\. A beanie style is a more attractive option for younger cyclists, skateboarders and a conventional hat style suitable for all ages, rather than the bulky solid shells currently available7\. The cycle beanie is 100% recyclable, whereas traditional solid foam helmets are not. The plastic is a virgin product, reusable for the purpose it was manufactured. The fabrics use no solvents or adhesives and can be recycled in the same way as other fabrics.
