Head protection for kids in school

Support students at increased risk of falls or mobility issues with discreet, comfortable protective helmets.

The importance of head protection

Schools aim to provide a safe, inclusive environment for all students. However, some children are at higher risk of falls or head injuries due to medical conditions, mobility challenges, or recovery needs.

Even everyday activities in classrooms or on the playground can lead to accidents that affect safety, confidence, and participation.

This infographic explains why school safety matters, key head injury and fall statistics, and how solutions like Ribcap can help reduce risks in daily school life.

"Dedicating my career to children and adults who are at high risk of falls, I highly recommend Ribcap to my colleagues and clients. The products offer a high level of protection, while allowing choice and style. Something that is very rare in the market, and yet is so important to those who rely on these products in their every day life. I have found that it provides individuals the confidence to carry out daily activities independently and safely and be able to feel comfortable around others."

"All rehabilitation nurses know the importance of wearing head protection for people with higher fall risk. Thank you Ribcap, for all you do to prevent fall-related head trauma and head injuries through your Ribcap products. You are saving lives."

"Ribcap is an amazing technology that revolutionizes how we approach injury prevention from falls. In the past other devices, helmets, hats, and caps have been designed without thought to how they make the wearer look. Ribcap has changed that by pairing innovative, evidence-based technology for injury prevention with attractive styles that encourage people to wear them without embarrassment or dread. As a clinician and scientist focused on falls and injury prevention, I fully support the use of Ribcap for anybody at risk of falling for any reason."
