If you ask a concussion expert, as I did, they will tell you this: no helmet prevents concussion. Helmets prevent traumatic brain injury. Repeat: helmets do not prevent concussion!

hello how are you , I am a new hmb fighter, you can share more videos of your tips, repairs and suggestions ? I really like each of your videos, thank you very much greetings!

This is a fantastic video. Thanks for putting this together. I don't know anything about the inner workings of the SCA, but videos like this would be perfect to be pinned in the sections where new fighters would see it. Why spend hundreds of dollars on a helm, only to cheap out on padding that will protect your nugget? Most people don't realize how life changing concussions can be. Thanks again for creating this excellent video!

Do you, or anyone here have experience with Shocktek gel or foam? I'm looking at how to re-pad my helmet and wondering if anyone has experience with those products.

Heyyy if you have not had a concussion your not fighting... Good video 18 years I have always just used Walmart blue foam and I have had 2 concussions. Every new fighter should be required to watch this

defenetly something i need to do wiht armour in my medieval group, i originaly made basicly only two holes for laces to tie up, but it is defenetly not enough....corrections will be made.... but i got one ever growing question......"black steel" or i guess some sort of non hardenble steel(1,5mm thick)....is it going to be enough or a protection for non pro bohurt(basicly every now and then)

Thanks brother

Nice!

This is a great video I plan to share a lot. What's the deal with the helmet on the left? I love it and want one just like it. Is there anything you can tell me to help the pursuit. Is there a set of pics of it?

I use closed cell foam from automotive interior applications. Its meant to soften car accident impacts ie. Unbuckled people slamming into dashboards. Also, luxury cars have these anti vibration pads thats are used to quite interior noise. I highly suggest getting that material. It adheres and has a very slender profile. Any bell type helmets are acoustically solved after slapping some of that shit around the inside. Its cheap. Go to u pull it. Remove interior panel, harvest quality foam and impact plastics.

Where do you find the foam your talking about?

How do you make those helmet liners? It's awesome.

You said it so fast I couldn't understand it. who made the left side helm again? Are they still in business?

Thanks for putting this up. I'd like to see a lot more discussion and theory about the methods of padding helms. The amazing part to me is what folks can get away wtih and not get injured in one case, but another person or a different time the effects are very different. I am about the experiment with the arming cap/foam combination myself, so this was seen at the perfect time. Thanks again.

So basicly like an arming cap?

where'd you get these or did you build them?

What kind of padding did you use in Poland?

How do you feel about the padding that the Army MICH helmets use? Newer SCA fighter for me and thus far I have been using that as padding since they come as the large bricks and you can velcro them into the helmet and they were designed for anti concussion.... but may not be the best option still for a round house claymore hit?

Everyone in SCA, EMP, HMB and related activities should see this. We are long past the days when wally world smurfhide camp mat foam is or should be acceptable to pad a helmet. If you can spend anywhere from low three figures to low four figures on a helmet you can spend a few more bucks to pad it properly. Some of the set ups I see in SCA appall me. Yes, they are "legal" and as a marshal I have to pass them but what was OK in 1989 when I started is far from smart padding and strapping set ups today.
