How it will help paramedics?

If you have a big crash and paramedics come to your aid, they do these 4 main things:

  1. Manage your most serious injuries first.
  2. Determine your 'mechanism of injury' to try to understand how severe your crash was.
  3. Assess your 'Glasgow Coma Scale' (GCS) score which rates how concussed you are as a trauma patient.
  4. For head injuries, they usually take your helmet, or photos of it, to the Emergency Department (ED) to show the ED doctors.


But... helmets often hide the damage to them on the inside, between the shell and the hidden (top) of the EPS foam. Helmet shells are also very rigid so they typically do not show much sign of damage.

So they have to guestimate the size of the impact you experienced!

However, our Crash Severity Sensor picks up every tiny movement from the moment you pick up your helmet out of your gear bag!

Once an impact occurs, it records the g-force precisely and sets off the appropriate severity tier of LEDs and alarm.

This information takes the 'guestimation' out of the situation for paramedics.

It tells them definitively how hard you crashed at so they can respond with the appropriate level of treatment and urgency.

They can then pass on the severity level to the Emergency Department (ED) at hospital, on the way there.

So this specific data means faster, more appropriate treatment for you!

It helps paramedics help you, when you need it most!
