A Leicestershire-based company called Hedkayse, who initially specialised in cycling helmets, have designed a rugby headguard that, according to data ratified by Imperial College, London, reduces the force of direct head impacts by up to 85%.
No pictures?
Sounds like an actual helmet to me, which nobody should want in rugby
Yeah, the article should’ve included some, but they’re not hard to find on the Hedkayse website, e.g. this one:
Dislike. But interested to see how it does get on. Scrumcap with extra padding essentially
But the question is, do we dislike it more than we dislike chronic traumatic encepholopathy and early onset dementia?
I question the effectiveness first. If it does work, no one can argue
I immediately dislike how much digging through their site it takes to see it on a real human head, https://www.hedkayse.com/#_
Makes me suspicious that it looks super awful or that it’s not a finished design.
