Remember, head and body protection are the second line of defense.  Being careful and responsible is the first priority.  Helmet and body pads do have limitations.  No helmet pad can prevent or eliminate the risk of concussions or other serious head injuries while playing sports.  Scientists have also not reached agreement on how the results of impact absorption tests relate to concussions.  No conclusions about a reduction of risk or severity of concussive injury should be drawn from impact absorption tests.  Unequal products are not bulletproof, bullet resistant, stab resistant or stab-proof.  Obey the rules and "Code of Conduct" of your particular sport, game or activity. Use common sense and practice safe sports. For more information, visit www.unequal.com.
