The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Quick update from our website on the feautres of the helmet that helped keep out the delivery

Barker Bouncer not a Problem Posted on 19 Sep,2010
Keith Barker took an 84mph bouncer to the face in yesterday CB40 final from Alfonso Thomas but shook it off without any issue due to the fact he was wearing his ACIS Elite helmet. In the words of David "Bumble" Lloyd....

"That new style probably saved him there, not sure the older ones would have done the job"

footage of this blow can be seen in the video below.....and in our gallery section

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMVR_MEeVOk

Ayrtek unique design features helped him avoud any form of injury, unlike Kieron Pollard who have to leave the field for Somerset a few weeks ago.

    * The 4 point chin strap stablised the helmet upon impact, where as a single attachement at either side would have pivoted.
    * The grill (made from grade 5 titanium) absorbed the impact and transferred the energy into thhe flares at the side of the helmet acted to stop the helmet deforming sideways and brigning the grill towards Keiths face.
    * The rib which reenforces the peak of the helmet acted to keep the shell rigid and performed as per BSI and Simpact testing theory.
    * The ACIS aided the fit of the helmet on Keiths head so that it wasnt loose fitting and kept him protected.


Thats some great free marketing for you. Really couldn't have planned anything better than that with all the marketing guru's money can buy.

I doubt there is damage as it just smashed into the grill, not the actual lid.
