CTE is a progressive degenerative disease found in people who have had a severe blow or repeated blows to the head.
Concussion and CTE have risen to the level of a public health crisis that has captured the national stage. The issue sparked a major motion picture called "CONCUSSION" starring, Will Smith and ignited a rigorous dialogue and brought to light the grave dangers of head injury.
For Shawn, the issue of helmet safety is deeply personal, not just business. Recently retired, Shawn still has many friends active in the NFL. He is the son of former Dallas Cowboy running back Ron Springs and grew up around the game even before stepping on the field himself. "Windpact is my way of giving back to the game I love," said Shawn Springs, CEO of Windpact, "by improving the safety for the players who play now and those who will play in the future." "The Power of the Windpact system ultimately comes from the air dispersion in our Crash Cloud technology," says COO Max Moyer.
The Crash Cloud system is made up of three elements: Wind Springs™, Impact Vents™ and Refresh Vents.™ "These features combine to produce self-recovering airbags that instantly absorb and disperse the impact of a hit," said Maurice Kelly, Windpact's Chief Innovation Officer. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way helmets are designed and manufactured forever. Windpact doesn't manufacture helmets, but rather wants to be the "Intel Inside" for helmet safety and license its patented Crash Cloud system to key sport and recreation helmet manufacturers around the world. Windpact's current aim is to become synonymous with head protection by building a leading brand in safety and design that improves impact performance in helmets and protective gear. As an innovative impact mitigation system, the application for this tech expands far beyond football into a wide array of uses from military, to construction, to transportation, and even healthcare.
