Abstract
The present invention provides protective headgear which includes magnetic material configured such that the impact of a collision to the head of a wearer is reduced. In one embodiment, protective headgear, such as a helmet, is provided with a first magnetic material disposed in the helmet in at least one region of the helmet, wherein the first magnetic material is configured to exert a magnetic repulsive force against a second helmet including a second magnetic material of the same polarity, such that the impact forces of a direct helmet-to-helmet collision are reduced or avoided. The invention additionally provides a system for impact reduction including protective headgear, such as one or more helmets, and optionally one or more neck pads or body armor comprising magnetic material, and a method for reducing the impact from a collision experienced by a wearer of the protective headgear.
