ABSTRACT:
An impact absorbing protective gear for protecting an area of the wearer's body includes a pad, which is configured to generally conform to the area of the wearer's body, and a fluid containing body. The pad includes an inner surface and an outer surface, with the inner surface for facing the area of the wearer's body. The pad is formed from a resilient energy-absorbing material wherein the outer surface flexes inwardly when impacted by a force applied to the outer surface. The inner surface includes at least one recessed portion. The fluid containing body is located in the recessed portion and has a volume less than the volume of the recessed portion wherein the fluid containing body can deform in the recessed portion upon impact from the force to thereby increase the amount of energy absorbed by the protective gear.
