A REVOLUTIONARY INNOVATION

THE GREATEST ADVANCE IN HEAD PROTECTION SINCE THE INVENTION OF THE FULL-FACE HELMET.

Paradoxically, while technological progress concerning active safety has taken giant steps forward with, for example, the appearance of ABS on motorbikes and scooters, progress in the field of passive safety has remained much more limited. Of course, in almost a century, helmet manufacturers have made great progress with their products, in terms of both materials and ergonomics and comfort. But since the invention of the full-face helmet, there has been no new discovery that has revolutionized, or at least noticeably “evolutionized,” the manufacture of the motorcycle helmet.

With SuperSkin®, the Belgian company Lazer now brings helmet users definitive progress in the field of protective head gear, given the knowledge that in 67% of all motorcycle accidents and 80% of fatal accidents the head will be injured.

The solution provided by SuperSkin® is simple, almost obvious, because it is inspired directly by nature. Actually, our skull, which is the best-designed casing for providing our brain with protection, is itself naturally protected by scalp.

The SuperSkin® is a layer on the outside of the helmet, which acts exactly like the scalp does in the human head. By sliding on the shell it limits rotation.
Rotation of the head causes severe and untreatable damage to the brain from the very first milliseconds following a blow and the scalp reduces the effect of the impact by sliding over the skull. It is precisely this infinitesimal time lapse of 15 milliseconds that is so critical, when what occurs is what is called by scientists “rotational Injury”, the most mortal of enemies. And the principle of the Lazer SuperSkin® helmet was invented and designed by Dr Ken Philips of Philips Helmets Ltd precisely to counteract this in the most effective manner.
