The cone-head™ liner is a shock absorbing foam liner for helmets that incorporates low-density cone-shaped foam structures within the thickness of high density foam.
The revolutionary shock absorbing cone-head™ liner:
• acts like a crumple zone around the head to absorb and dissipate impact forces more effectively than current liners in helmets
• will help to reduce the deceleration of the head on impact
• may be used in other applications to protect body parts or valued goods from impact forces
The new cone-head™ liner for helmets represents an enormous advance in safety technology for all types of helmets. It solves the problem of current liners being too hard and stiff and not able to effectively absorb an impact force.
The cone-head™ liner is the brainchild of Brisbane physicist Don E. Morgan who spent more than 20 years researching the effectiveness of motorcycle and bicycle helmets and developing the new shock absorbing liner for helmets.
