ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a neck brace for protecting the user during vigorous activities. The neck brace has an elongated non-stretchable, flexible strap carrying a T-shaped pin on one end thereof. An eye bracket is fixedly attached to a helmet of the user, the opening in the bracket allowing to engage the pin of the strap therein. The second end of the strap is secured to the body harness of the user and, the strap is stretched tight to prevent dislocation of the users muscles and neck bones during the activities. As a result, the user can bend his head slightly downward but not so much as to force his head down on to his chest.
