Headgear apparatuses comprise a head-protection component configured to be worn over a head and to protect the head from an external force. In certain embodiments, the headgear apparatus has an effective mass of at least 5 kg. In other embodiments, the head-protection component is a form-fitting structure, wherein a maximum distance the head-protection component extends from an exterior surface of the head is less than 5 cm. The head-protection component may be interconnected with a neck support and a body support, wherein the head-protection component, the neck support, and the body support comprise a single structure made of a semi-flexible foam material coated in a latex or vinyl composition. |
