ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for protecting a wearer's neck against hyperflexion and hyperextension is employed in combination with protective head equipment and includes a pad removably carried by the protective head equipment for engaging a lower surface of a wearer's chin and a strap slidably received by the pad for securing the pad against the lower surface of the wearer's chin, the strap including an adjustable fastener for connection to the protective head equipment. Hyperflexion of the wearer's neck due to forward and downward movement of the wearer's head is limited when the pad is captured between the wearer's chin and chest. A second pad is removably carried by the protective head equipment for engaging the wearer's neck at the base of the wearer's head to protect the wearer against hyperextension of the wearer's neck due to backward movement of the wearer's head.
