Abstract
A helmet includes an energy absorbing layer. The energy absorbing layer includes a secondary magnetic material that is at least partially embedded in the energy absorbing layer. The helmet also includes a slidable energy diverting layer that acts as an external shell of the helmet. A pocket is mounted to an interior surface of the slidable energy diverting layer, where the pocket includes a primary magnetic material. An attraction between the primary magnetic material and the secondary magnetic material secures the slidable energy diverting layer to the energy absorbing layer during normal use of the helmet.
