ABSTRACT:
An energy-absorbing liner for use in conventional outdoor headgear to provide protection in the event of an impact directed against the wearer's head. A plurality of fluid-filled cushions having walls of resilient material are joined together into a regular and spaced relationship. The connected cushions are mounted over the inside of the outdoor headgear so as to contact and cushion the wearer's head upon impact. In an preferred embodiment, the cushions have two chambers separated by a common wall and are connected by means of flanges along the perimeters of the cushions. The cushions may be interconnected by fluid carrying passages of predetermined cross section to facilitate dispersing of impact forces laterally and may be arranged from a central round or square configuration.
