1. HEADS UP! HELMET could save lives and prevent long-term mental health problems and disabilities for thousands of our troops.

1. Our helmet will not protect soldiers from torso and chest constrictions due to a bomb detonating under a vehicle and causing a potentially fatal rush of blood to the brain.
2. During combat, a helmet is sometimes used as a tool to hammer and dig and this kind of use could trigger deployment of our helmet�s safety features.
3. Providing new, high-tech helmets to all of our combat soldiers would be a significant additional cost to the military.
