British college students have developed a \"smart\" polo helmet ---with a built-
Collision sensor--
This can save lives by alerting emergency workers to impacts and falls that may cause head injuries.
23-year-old Robin Spicer, a final year student in industrial design and technology at Loughborough University, developed a polo helmet with a \"collision sensor\" that will pass through
Spicer\'s goal is to develop a technology that reminds emergency rescue workers to pay attention due to invisible, non-
Tangible concussion, and GPS coordinates of the place where the accident occurred when the rider was training alone.
The ARMIS Polo helmet prototype was created using a 3D printer and developed for production, including fold areas made of expanded polystyrene, flexible peaks and multiple
A directional impact protection system that simulates movement within the helmet of the brain\'s own protection system.
The low friction layer reduces the rotational acceleration of the head and minimizes the risk of suffering from severe brain damage.
The design of the helmet takes into account British standards, including safety clamps, streamlined vents and double-layer carbon fiber enclosures, to prevent penetration, Spicer said.
Spicer said: \"With my polo helmet design, I want to change people\'s attitude and behavior towards the safety of the sport and encourage polo players to seek appropriate in the event of a dangerous head impact
\"Although the damage rate of polo is very low, the severity is extremely high.
If I can influence other manufacturers and companies to re-
\"Think about the design of their polo helmets and see how to make them safer and I achieve my goal,\" he said . \".
