Be prepared for the increasing number of "minor falls" that occur when playing in the snow, sledding, or skiing! Head injury prevention tips for the whole family
WELFARE COLUMN

Winter leisure activities always involve the risk of falling.

For easy head protection when skiing, snowboarding, or playing in the snow,
Hat-type protector = protective helmet option

 

Winter vacation and the New Year's holidays are seasons when there are many opportunities to enjoy snow activities such as skiing, snowboarding, skating, and sledding.
On the other hand, the footing on snow and ice becomes more unstable than usual,
Due to a fallRisk of head injurywill increase.

This is the season when even minor shocks require careful handling.

 

Statistics from ski resorts show that head injuries and minor collisions due to falls are not uncommon. If you are going on serious skiing that requires a helmet, it is of course essential to wear a special helmet.
"It's not that formal, but I'm a little worried about wearing a regular knit cap..."
"I want to prevent injuries caused by children playing in the snow and sledding."

Many people think this way.

 

In such cases, more and more people are choosing head protection helmets that "look like regular hats."
In particular, snow play, sledding, and light skiing experiences are available.Situations where serious injury is not anticipated, but there is concern about a minor impact when a collision occurs. So it's one of the safest materials that you can use easily.

 

Head protection helmets are hats that contain a special sponge material called shock absorber, which helps to absorb the impact of falls and collisions, reducing the risk of serious injuries.

If the impact value when not wearing a hat is 1, the risk of serious injury when wearing a head protection helmet is reduced to 1/14.

The shock-absorbing material used in head protection helmets may feel a little stiff in cold environments, but it will naturally soften with body heat. Even when going out in winter, wearing the helmet for a while will restore its original fit.
