Motorcycle Helmet Reviews - Eject Helmet Removal System.

Neck and spine injuries are a life-altering peril that motocross racers face each time we strap on our helmets. Shock Doctor hopes to reduce the occurrence of spinal injuries with it's new removal system.

The system is designed to allow emergency medical technicians to easily remove the helmet of an injured rider, thereby reducing the chances of further neck or spinal cord trauma. The system is comprised of a thin, two inch square air bladder that is situated inside the top of the helmet. It can be fitted between the inner liner and shell towards the center of the helmet. The bladder expansion displaces the helmet off the injured rider's head without excessive jerking or twisting motion which often results in further trauma. The bladder connects to an air tube that's routed inside the liner and down through the bottom of the right-hand side of the helmet. The air inlet connector can then be fastened to the base of the helmet via. it's Velcro Fastening system. A yellow "Eject Equipped" sticker is then placed next to the air inlet to signal medical personnel that the system is installed.

To activate, one needs to simply detach or cut the helmet's chin strap, followed by removal of the rider's goggles or eyeglasses. Next, attach the air squeeze bulb to the air intake connector (a compressed air device is available for EMT use only). Pump the bulb while guiding the helmet gently off the rider's head.

The Shock Doctor removal system can be used in all types of powersports helmets, both street and off-road and is required for all competitors in the 2010 AMA Supercross Series.
