INTRODUCING
Rhino Shockwave TECHNOLOGY™
Our patent pending safety system offers four distinct stages of kinetic energy absorption. Check out our YouTube link to understand these stages and how we were able to fit the kinetic absorption surface area equivalent of two automotive airbags into our helmet liners.
Four Stages of Kinetic Energy Absorption
Stage 1: Linear Impact Diversion
Our liner takes the linear force of the hit and diverts it laterally around the head. Most existing liners absorb linear force into a small section of padding and then directly into the head.
Stage 2: Kinetic Load Distribution
Current liners take the kinetic load of a hit and spread it over a surface area of around 50 square inches. The Rhino Kinetics liner increases the surface area of kinetic diffusion to up to 880 square inches.
Stage 3: Progressive Deceleration
An outer membrane and three shape layers are filled with varying air pressures. The shape layers are designed to redistribute and slow down the force of an impact. We can change characteristics of each layer based upon position-specific data, providing more protection in identified areas of risk.
Stage 4: Rotational Twist Absorption
Specific shape layers are designed to help absorb the rotational force of an impact which lessens torque on the brainstem. More recent studies have shown rotational twisting from off-centered hits leads to diffuse axonal injuries which may be be more dangerous to longterm cognitive health than linear impacts.
