Impact Mitigating Structure

Abstract: A helmet includes an impact mitigating structure (100). The impact mitigating structure includes a first inner layer (102), a second outer layer (104) and a reactive layer (105) positioned between the first inner layer and the second outer layer. The reactive layer includes multiple elements (106) held between the first inner layer and second outer layer. The reactive layer is arranged such that, when the second layer is subject to an impact, the multiple elements of the reactive layer are configured to roll to facilitate movement of the first inner layer and the second outer layer with respect to each other.
