Helmets are an important safety device in countless jobs, activities and pastimes around the world. In almost all cases, people who wear helmets do so to protect their skull and brain during work, sports or play. Helmets are usually solid material shells that cover the wearer's head and possibly the lower neck area. Helmets are usually made of metal when used in industrial, military or other work environments, but for recreational and sports use, helmets are made of lightweight metal, plastic or resin interwoven with fibers. These end products provide adequate cranial coverage and protection for the wearer in a variety of activities. In addition to the sturdy construction of the shell portion of the helmet, many helmets are equipped with a jaw strap to keep the equipment in place during use. Other equipment for helmets includes face shields, visors, brims and ear plugs.
Modern helmets have their roots in centuries of warfare. In these early battles, Greek and Roman soldiers tried to protect their entire bodies with various forms of metal, wood and leather. The Spartan army, in particular, was known for its fierce metal helmet headgear. Over the next few years, the armies of empires and nations adopted various forms of helmets to protect their heads from many forms of weapons during battle. However, the popularity of the musket waned with the advent of the musket. For centuries, armies had virtually abandoned helmets except for ceremonial purposes; however, World War I changed this position. The advent of artillery required soldiers to once again protect their skulls from injury. In this case, shrapnel was the soldier's enemy, and the sturdy metal helmet was part of the form of defense against these deadly artillery weapons. The heavy use of helmets in World Wars I and II increased the importance and availability of using these items in a variety of applications around the world.
After the Great War, helmets began to spread throughout all aspects of the construction industry, as well as miners, auto workers and any other industry that used machinery. These safety improvements significantly increased the protection and safety of individual workers. In addition to the military, law enforcement also invested in helmets for their officers. In addition to professional and military use, helmets are a valuable asset for sports and recreation in the world's cultures. Currently, bicyclists, equestrians, soccer players, mountain climbers, skateboarders, racers and stick tennis players use some form of helmet all the time. In these capacities, helmets save the lives and health of countless athletes and extreme sports participants every day. Many leagues require players to wear helmets as a mandatory safety measure for players. In general, the use of helmets only promotes health concerns about the dangers faced when participating in certain activities. When faced with a traumatic brain injury or death, many participants in these sports likely wish they had previously decided to protect themselves with one of the many forms of helmets available on the global market today.
