POC Skull Orbic X SPIN Lead Blue

The POC Skull Orbic X SPIN (Shearing Pad Inside), is an evolutionin head and brain protection. Through the use ofinnovative and unique pads inside a helmet it is possibleto reduce the amount of force transmitted to a user’shead and brain in the event of an oblique impact.The most common type of fall results in an angled, oroblique, impact with the ground or object which canlead to a rotation of the helmet and head. Research hasshown that compared to a direct, or linear, fall the forcerequired to cause serious head injury from an obliqueimpact is often much lower. To counter this common impact scenario we created SPIN pads, which are an evolution on nature’s own design and use an innovative pad technology and design. SPIN pads are optimized to provide rotational impact protection based onthe precise location inside the helmetand by using various pad technologieswhich can shear in any direction.The aim is to minimize the effects ofan oblique fall by allowing the helmet tomove relative to the head.The human body has evolved and developed a variety ofprotective systems, the best known being cerebrospinalfluid, which cushions the head and brain during anyfall. Placed inside a helmet directly against a user’shead, SPIN pads are able to deflect crash energy inany direction through shearing and reduce the forcetransmitted to the brain.
