Claim:
1. A helmet for reducing impact forces on an interior of said helmet, said helmet comprising: a top and opposite bottom of said helmet; a front side and opposite back side of said helmet; a central axis extending between said top and bottom of said helmet, and located medially between said front and back sides of said helmet; a longitudinal axis extending between said front and back sides of said helmet and intersecting said central axis at a perpendicular angle; an inner surface defining an interior of said helmet, and an opposite exterior surface; a frontal section located on said front side, forward of said central axis and centered on said longitudinal axis, and substantially covering a frontal bone of a wearer when worn; and a magnet component centrally located on and secured to said frontal section, said magnet component extending across said frontal section circumferentially at least 90 degrees around said central axis, said magnet component having a first side emitting a magnetic force of a first polarity and an opposite second side emitting a magnetic force of an opposite second polarity, said first side facing said exterior surface of said helmet and emitting said magnetic force of said first polarity radially outwardly from said helmet in a continuous magnetic field sufficient to reduce the impact force of a like helmet having a like polarity to less than 80 G's when a speed in the range of 13-16 mph is applied to each such helmet.
