Abstract:
The present invention is a helmet apparatus configured to accommodate multiple impact hits thereafter retaining usability, with the helmet including an outer shell that is divided into a posterior and an anterior portion, further the outer shell is divided into a left and a right portion, the shell is rigid except for a first relatively less rigid portion that is disposed within the posterior portion straddling the left and right portions, and a second relatively less rigid portion disposed within the anterior portion straddling the left and right portions. Further a flexible channel is disposed along a shell major and minor axes, also a series of fluid bladder layers slidably engaged to one another are disposed on the inside of the shell, wherein the first, second, and channel less rigid portions along with the slidable bladders absorb kinetic energy impacts to the shell reducing energy transfer to the user's head.

Claim (Index 6):
A helmet apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein said first and second relatively less rigid portions have a flexibility that is less than one-half a flexibility of said outer shell outside of said first and second relatively less rigid portions and said outer shell outside of said flexible channel, wherein said flexibility is in units of pounds force per inch of deflection.
