Shield-X Technology Inc. is a developer and manufacturer of impact-diverting technology.[1][2] Shield-X's decal, is designed to enhance helmet performance in contact sports and activities where traumatic brain injury (TBI) such as concussions occur, including American football, ice hockey, and cycling.
The Shield-X decal, during angled impacts, significantly reduces rotational acceleration caused by friction. Rotational forces are thought to be the major component in concussion[3] and its severity.[4] It is designed to look like a conventional helmet decal.
