Dr KEN PHILLIPS

INTUITION AND PERSERVERANCE

Dr Ken Philips is a British doctor who has spent several years working on improving helmet safety, following a discussion with his son, a journalist specialising in the motorcycle press. Considering with good reason that the best helmet had already been invented by nature, he postulated that the skin on the skull, our scalp, played an all-important role in the event of an impact and was able to demonstrate that the same effect was achieved by putting a lubricated membrane on a helmet. This pioneer has dedicated a total of fifteen years of his life to saving ours.

Over the years, he has developed his head protection concept, called PHPS™ (Philips Head Protection System). By joining forces with this project, the managers of LAZER immediately became aware of the tremendous added benefits that the SuperSkin® solution could provide for its customers in terms of safety. So LAZER now has the exclusive use of this concept adapted to motorcycle helmets. For his part, Dr Philips envisages extending the application of his discovery to helmets for cyclists and to riding helmets, etc.
