SHOCK ABSORPTION SYSTEM

摘要

A shock absorption system embodying a method for reducing the impact on helmets and other shock absorbing barriers is provided. The external retro-fitting system reduces the initial, external impact on pre-existing helmets so as not to be reliant on internal fit or space consumption. The method involves applying a gel type material to the external portion of the helmet/barrier, wherein the gel type material and its operative membrane can be dimensioned and adapted to retro-fit around existing components and holes
