Most helmets are designed, tested and certified for compression forces only (assuming the impact is on the top of the helmet). In reality, most impacts induce compression forces and sharp twisting of the head. The Human brain is one million times more sensitive to the sharp twisting.

Proven Technology—Effective in reducing rotational acceleration (sharp twisting).Easy to Integrate—No modification required to helmet designs.Comfortable & Cost Effective—Helmet padding significantly more comfortable than the competition. Easy to manufacture and design. Inexpensive.Lower cost—compared to other technologies.

Woodpecker's skull and lower mandible, have bone structures that allow sliding (deformation) that helps in absorbing impact forces. Woodpeckers hammer their beaks into trees at the astonishing rate of 18 to 22 times per second, subjecting their brains to deceleration forces of 1200 g with each strike. This is more than 100 times the g-force required to give a football player a concussion...

Using our own proprietary test lab, developed at the Simon Fraser University, results show that Shield-X with BrainShield technology greatly reduces strain on the brain when rotational forces are applied. Testing using advanced accelerometers and gyroscopic sensors show that when a head form is impacted with rotational forces, helmets with Shield-X show significantly less impact to...

BrainShield™ reduces the sharp twisting and compression of the brain during impacts – the primary cause of concussions. Shield-X currently has four products, BX-E, BX-I, BX-C, and BX-R, with additional innovative and disruptive products in development.

Our patented BrainShield™ technology is integrated to the interior of the helmet pad system and reduces rotational impacts and acceleration. The BX-I is one of the lightest, most adaptable systems on the market and easily integrates with any helmet.
