Shorttrack Helmet for Skate-Tec

Together with Marc Velzeboer and Diederik van der Steen, I developed a helmet for shorttrack skating. Shorttrack can be a dangerous sport because of the many crashes. To prevent the blades cutting the sporters body's they already wear cutting resistable suits. But for protecting the face they only used glasses that protect the eyes only.  So we developed this helmet to protect the whole face. Key feature is that the visor must stay in place when having impact from the from, but must go off when a blade enters from the back or below. ​@ the 2025 olympics the helmet won gold and silver medals
