Abstract
A protective helmet includes a liner configured to absorb energy from an impact, and a plurality of rotation-effects-mitigating pads coupled to an inner wall of the liner, such that the rotation-effects-mitigating pads are configured to contact the head of a user when the helmet is worn. The rotation-effects-mitigating pads are configured to facilitate rotation (e.g., slip) of the helmet relative to a user's head in response to an oblique impact. In some examples, the rotation-effects-mitigating pads comprise gas-filled bladders and/or pellet-containing bladders. In some examples, the-rotation-effects-mitigating pads are vented to atmosphere to facilitate the pads adapting to changes in pressure as a result of changes in altitude.
