Play hard and play safe at the same time.The Smart Impact Indicator chin strap was designed to make contact sports safer for all those who play it. In a day of increasingly bigger, faster players and increasingly bigger hits, the Impact Indicator is an easy and economical tool to help lower the risks of long-term damage by detecting high impact hits. Once detected, a player can be assessed quickly, decreasing the chance of an additional concussion or head injury. Using cutting-edge technology, the Impact Indicator utilizes patent-pending micro sensor and software technology to measure and calculate the force and duration of a hit to a players helmet. In the heat of a game when fast decisions are required and in practices when a coachs attention is divided amongst multiple players and drills, the impact Indicator measures contact at Head Injury Criterion (HIC) levels - the highest and most accepted standard for measuring the likelihood of head injury from an impact. If the Impact Indicator measures a hit sustained at a certain HIC level, an LED light alerts coaches and referees to the possible injury. Coaches and trainers can immediately get a player off the field and into the hands of physicians and trainers who can accurately assess whether a concussion has occurred and treat its symptoms. *Impact Indicator can be reset after concussive impact*
