Abstract

A helmet comprising: an inner shell; an outer shell; a sliding interface between the inner shell and the outer shell; and a switch configured to be selectively switchable between first and second discrete modes, the first mode allowing relative sliding between the inner shell and the outer shell at the sliding interface in response to an impact to the helmet, the second mode preventing relative sliding between the inner shell and the outer shell at the sliding interface.
