A new generation of hard hats is promising better protection against on-the-job concussions, also known as mild traumatic brain injuries.
These hard hats incorporate technology that not only protects the head from a direct impact, but also from a glancing blow that causes the head to rotate suddenly – a major cause of concussions.
It's made and sold by WaveCel, a company founded to make safer bike helmets.
The WaveCel hard hat is the latest effort to update the products, known as industrial safety helmets, which brain injury experts say are overdue for an upgrade.
