Alpinestars Carbon Bionic Neck Support

Alpinestars Carbon Bionic Neck Support - Features

• Designed to work with a helmet to reduce the risk and severity of a catastrophic neck injury (i.e a paralyzing injury)
• Designed to substantially reduce the likelihood of a serious neck injury
• Functions by providing an alternate load path for the energy that compresses the neck
• If the helmet is in contact with the BNS at the moment of impact, the overall load passing through the neck can be reduced, which may prevent a fracture from occurring
• Helps reduce the chance of muscular injuries associated with extremes of head movement
• When compared to soft 'neck roll' devices, the protection provided is significantly better because being soft, these devices simply deform, offering no protection against damaging compressive forces
• Fit is critical to ensure the most effective protection possible; riders should choose the equipment size best suited for their body; neck support should not roll around over the shoulders
• A special magnesium key located at the rear allows the convenient front of opening of the device and allows for quick dismantling in a emergency
• A fine adjustment of shoulder height allows a more personal fit, particularly for individuals with a shorter than normal neck
• In the even of large loads being channeled onto the rear stabilizer (the part that sits on the back) there are a number of deliberate bending and fracture points designed to relieve extreme loads that may be transmitted down the back
• All parts in contact with the body use an expanded foam compound to distribute the impact over the widest possible area, yet still be light weight
• A continuous frame member runs over the shoulders- this means there are no weak points in a critical part and that there are no metal pins or screws sitting directly above the shoulders that could come dislodged into the shoulders or collarbone during an accident
• Includes A-strap attachment system for securing the brace to the body
• X-Strap system also included
• Carbon composite frame to maximize frame stiffness and minimize weight
• Main frame has new graphics sticker kit
• New design lightweight EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) foam absorption pad is contoured for greater durability
• Weight is approximately 850 grams
• Includes carry bag
• Category 2 C.E. certified under the PPE directive(89/686/EEC)
