HATS OFF offers a unique, low tech, low cost solution to the problem of safe emergency helmet removal. This device can be used in safety helmets for any sport or leisure activity.

The Helmet Kit takes just a few moments to fit into the helmet and the wearer is unaware of its presence.

The Hats Off Technique is now becoming widely accepted by Basic Doctors and Registered Paramedics as the preferred method of emergency helmet removal. The device is being used by both race track, and air/road ambulance rescue crews.

The old method of manually pulling the helmet from the casualty's head has been the only option available until now. But as every qualified rescuer knows it is in the process of pulling that damage can be done to the casualty's neck/spine.

Crews who have used the Hats Off 1st Response Kit or the pre installed Hats Off Helmet Kit all agree it is quicker, less traumatic for the casualty and removes the risks associated by the pulling of the neck.

Many of the medics who have used Hats Off in real life rescue situations are now encouraging others within their profession to adopt the technique as standard practice.

The Hats Off Helmet Kit is compulsory in the American Indycar Racing League, (IRL), and the Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) and NASCAR have most strongly recommend its use.

The highly professional British Auto Racing Club Rescue Team based at Thruxton Circuit, the fastest track in the UK, now carry Hats Off 1st Response Kits as part of their regular rescue equipment.

Formula Student racing event organised by the The Institution of Mechanical Engineers held each year at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome and Proving Ground in Leicestershire have their rescue crews equipped with Hats Off.
