In some embodiments, the shield is pivotally connected to the support platform to allow a relative pivotal movement between the support platform and the shield. In some embodiments, the device includes an adjuster unit allowing to vertically adjust the distance between the head protector shield and the support platform, thereby allowing to fit various head sizes.
