<li>The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that worldwide, there are about 69 million traumatic brain injuries per year. Of those injuries, 56 million are considered mild and are classified as concussions. We know that the vast majority of those concussions are accidents that occur during everyday activities. While it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact percentage that take place during sports, it likely amounts to several million concussions per year. That number likely grows even higher when you factor in how many concussions go undiagnosed.</li>
<li>As many as 22% of all soccer injuries are concussions and another study suggests even higher numbers. There are also reports of the occurrence of acute SDH (ASDH), skull fractures and epidural hematoma (EDH) after being struck on the head by a soccer ball. J Engineering in Medicine 2015, Vol. 229(8) 592–608.</li>
<li>According to global statistics, seniors (aged 65 and older) experience the highest rate of head injuries compared to other age groups, with the most common cause being falls. Ageing Research Reviews Volume 99, August 2024, 102376</li>
<li>The rate of cheerleading concussions has been observed to increase significantly over time, with some studies indicating a rise of over 900% since 2000. Orthop J Sports Med. 2022 In Canada, CHIRPP 1993-2011 over 90% of acute curling injuries resulted from a fall, and 31.7% were head impacts. </li>
<li>Studies show a varied incidence of pediatric traumatic brain injuries (TBI) worldwide, ranging from 47 to 280 per 100,000 children. Falls are the most common cause of head injuries in toddlers, often occurring due to their developmental stage of learning to walk and crawl. PUB MED 2016

<ul>
<li>Activities with a risk of head impact are dangerous. This product reduces the severity of such impacts. As with all headgear, it does not limit brain movement or prevent brain collisions within the skull if the impact is severe. For effectiveness, it should be worn snugly next to the head, like a sweatband. Improper placement or modification will decrease its effectiveness and increase the risk of head injury. This product is not a replacement for proper healing after an injury and does not eliminate the need for age-appropriate supervision; it does not make it safe to be fearless.</li>
<li>Safety Standards: Forcefield® Protective Headgear has been independently tested by INTERTEK and exceeds ASTM F2439 and European safety standards, certified by the world’s leader in testing PPE, Inspec EU and is so marked ASTM and CEII.</li>
<li>Note for Canadians: While the CSA standard for ice hockey helmets is recognized as the highest in the world, Forcefield® Protective Headgear is NOT CSA certified, as there are no CSA standards for this type of headgear. We encourage you to review our <a href="https://forcefieldheadbands.uk/ppe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">test data</a> before purchasing.</li>
<li>You have undoubtedly evaluated the risk of a fall due to a CSA certified helmet affecting balance, vision, or hearing against the protection it provides. You’ve accepted the possibility of injury when participating in activities that require balance and control over your center of gravity. This product has been proven effective in over 20 sports and activities, offering better protection than wearing no gear at all.</li>

<li>Activities with a risk of head impact are dangerous. This product reduces the severity of such impacts. As with all headgear, it does not limit brain movement or prevent brain collisions within the skull if the impact is severe. For effectiveness, it should be worn snugly next to the head, like a sweatband. Improper placement or modification will decrease its effectiveness and increase the risk of head injury. This product is not a replacement for proper healing after an injury and does not eliminate the need for age-appropriate supervision; it does not make it safe to be fearless.</li>
<li>Safety Standards: Forcefield® Protective Headgear has been independently tested by INTERTEK and exceeds ASTM F2439 and European safety standards, certified by the world’s leader in testing PPE, Inspec EU and is so marked ASTM and CEII.</li>
<li>Note for Canadians: While the CSA standard for ice hockey helmets is recognized as the highest in the world, Forcefield® Protective Headgear is NOT CSA certified, as there are no CSA standards for this type of headgear. We encourage you to review our <a href="https://forcefieldheadbands.uk/ppe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">test data</a> before purchasing.</li>
<li>You have undoubtedly evaluated the risk of a fall due to a CSA certified helmet affecting balance, vision, or hearing against the protection it provides. You’ve accepted the possibility of injury when participating in activities that require balance and control over your center of gravity. This product has been proven effective in over 20 sports and activities, offering better protection than wearing no gear at all.</li>

<li>The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that worldwide, there are about 69 million traumatic brain injuries per year. Of those injuries, <strong>56 million</strong> are considered mild and are classified as concussions. We know that the vast majority of those concussions are accidents that occur during everyday activities. While it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact percentage that take place during sports, it likely amounts to several million concussions per year. That number likely grows even higher when you factor in how many concussions go undiagnosed.</li>
<li>According to the World Health Organization<span style="face: Georgia;">, 2021 </span>Though not fatal, approximately 37.3 million falls severe enough to require medical attention occur globally each year. Falls are responsible for over 38 million (disability-adjusted life years) lost each year.</li>
<li>According to Health Canada, preventable head injuries are a multi-billion dollar problem and $2,000,000,000 is spent to treat and support Canadians sustaining a head injury each year.</li>
<li>As many as 22% of all soccer injuries are concussions and another study suggests even higher numbers. There are also reports of the occurrence of acute SDH (ASDH), skull fractures and epidural hematoma (EDH) after being struck on the head by a soccer ball. J Engineering in Medicine 2015, Vol. 229(8) 592–608.</li>
<li>According to global statistics, seniors (aged 65 and older) experience the highest rate of head injuries compared to other age groups, with the most common cause being falls. Ageing Research Reviews Volume 99, August 2024, 102376</li>
<li>The rate of cheerleading concussions has been observed to increase significantly over time, with some studies indicating a rise of over 900% since 2000. Orthop J Sports Med. 2022 In Canada, CHIRPP 1993-2011 over 90% of acute curling injuries resulted from a fall, and 31.7% were head impacts. </li>
<li>According to the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP), a national injury surveillance database,<br />for curling injuries entered between 1993 and 2011 over 90% of acute curling injuries resulted from a fall, and 31.7% were head<br />impacts.</li>
<li>Studies show a varied incidence of pediatric traumatic brain injuries (TBI) worldwide, ranging from 47 to 280 per 100,000 children. Falls are the most common cause of head injuries in toddlers, often occurring due to their developmental stage of learning to walk and crawl. PUB MED 2016

<li>The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that worldwide, there are about 69 million traumatic brain injuries per year. Of those injuries, <strong>56 million</strong> are considered mild and are classified as concussions. We know that the vast majority of those concussions are accidents that occur during everyday activities. While it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact percentage that take place during sports, it likely amounts to several million concussions per year. That number likely grows even higher when you factor in how many concussions go undiagnosed.</li>
<li>According to the World Health Organization<span style="face: Georgia;">, 2021 </span>Though not fatal, approximately 37.3 million falls severe enough to require medical attention occur globally each year. Falls are responsible for over 38 million (disability-adjusted life years) lost each year.</li>
<li>According to Health Canada, preventable head injuries are a multi-billion dollar problem and $2,000,000,000 is spent to treat and support Canadians sustaining a head injury each year.</li>
<li>As many as 22% of all soccer injuries are concussions and another study suggests even higher numbers. There are also reports of the occurrence of acute SDH (ASDH), skull fractures and epidural hematoma (EDH) after being struck on the head by a soccer ball. J Engineering in Medicine 2015, Vol. 229(8) 592–608.</li>
<li>According to global statistics, seniors (aged 65 and older) experience the highest rate of head injuries compared to other age groups, with the most common cause being falls. Ageing Research Reviews Volume 99, August 2024, 102376</li>
<li>The rate of cheerleading concussions has been observed to increase significantly over time, with some studies indicating a rise of over 900% since 2000. Orthop J Sports Med. 2022 In Canada, CHIRPP 1993-2011 over 90% of acute curling injuries resulted from a fall, and 31.7% were head impacts. </li>
<li>According to the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP), a national injury surveillance database,<br />for curling injuries entered between 1993 and 2011 over 90% of acute curling injuries resulted from a fall, and 31.7% were head<br />impacts.</li>
<li>Studies show a varied incidence of pediatric traumatic brain injuries (TBI) worldwide, ranging from 47 to 280 per 100,000 children. Falls are the most common cause of head injuries in toddlers, often occurring due to their developmental stage of learning to walk and crawl. PUB MED 2016</li>

<li>Activities with a risk of head impact are dangerous. This product reduces the severity of such impacts. As with all headgear, it does not limit brain movement or prevent brain collisions within the skull if the impact is severe. For effectiveness, it should be worn snugly next to the head, like a sweatband. Improper placement or modification will decrease its effectiveness and increase the risk of head injury. This product is not a replacement for proper healing after an injury and does not eliminate the need for age-appropriate supervision; it does not make it safe to be fearless.</li>
<li>Safety Standards: Forcefield® Protective Headgear has been independently tested by INTERTEK and exceeds ASTM F2439 and European safety standards, certified by the world’s leader in testing PPE, Inspec EU and is so marked ASTM and CEII.</li>
<li>Note for Canadians: While the CSA standard for ice hockey helmets is recognized as the highest in the world, Forcefield® Protective Headgear is NOT CSA certified, as there are no CSA standards for this type of headgear. We encourage you to review our <a href="https://forcefieldheadbands.uk/ppe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">test data</a> before purchasing.</li>
<li>You have undoubtedly evaluated the risk of a fall due to a CSA certified helmet affecting balance, vision, or hearing against the protection it provides. You’ve accepted the possibility of injury when participating in activities that require balance and control over your center of gravity. This product has been proven effective in over 20 sports and activities, offering better protection than wearing no gear at all.</li>
