March is officially Brain Injury Awareness Month! So in honor of the occasion, GelDefender wants to send out a friendly reminder to play it safe and guard your head. Athletes, military personnel, car accident victims and countless others are now enduring long-term effects from head injuries, and though we cannot eradicate them, we can minimize the risks.

Arguably, no part of your body is worth protecting more than your brain. So during this Brain Injury Awareness Month, remember that nobody, especially those who participate in high-risk activities for head injury, is immune to their many devastating effects. Educate yourself and those around you to better prevent, diagnose, and treat head injuries now, while the issue is still at the forefront of their minds. If it saves someone’s life or livelihood, no cost could be too great.

*Scientists have no conclusive evidence as to whether or how the reduction of g-forces during impacts reduces the number or degree of concussions and head injuries. GelDefender products provide supplemental padding as well as cooling and comfort benefits when used with helmets and caps. Participants in activities in which head impacts can occur should always use tested and approved helmets for protection. However, no helmet or supplemental padding can protect the user from all serious head or neck injuries that can result from impacts.
