Case Study: a football helmet manufacturer improves non-tackle football headgear safety with Rimkus research and safety communication

Football Helmet Manufacturer improves non-tackle headgear safety research with Rimkus and NEISS data

A football helmet manufacturer was developing new protective padded headgear for non-tackle football and required expert assistance with product design, research validation, and safety communication. They retained Rimkus to help meet these challenges and ensure the product was effectively developed and marketed.

Rimkus implemented a comprehensive solution that included reviewing scientific research on head impacts, conducting a comparative analysis of sports equipment regulations, and assisting the manufacturer in publishing its own research. The vendor also analyzed national injury data, surveyed potential users, and developed crucial product safety information and online educational briefs for the manufacturer's website. Through these efforts, Rimkus provided the essential research and communication foundation needed for the product's development and consumer education.
