5. BIOMECHANICS OF THE SOCCER GUARD -as described by Professor Pekka Luhtanen - Senior Researcher, KIHU Research Institute for Olympic Sports

13. Although between 40 %- 60% of the impact energy was absorbed , the shin guards themselves do not contain sufficient material to absorb large quantities of energy , and so it is unlikely that shin guards are capable of preventing fractures from high energy blows .

14. Each year 477,500 (+) soccer related injuries are treated in hospitals, doctor’s offices, and clinics. Source: American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons www.orthoinfo.org Soccer Tournament records have shown that most players who sustained lower leg injuries were not protected by adequate shin guards. source: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s 1999 NEISS data and estimates.

17. Here are some common types of fractures from soccer:

19. THERE IS NO FULL LEG COVERAGE! There is still injury above today’s shin guards where the knee pad can’t protect.

20. The Conforming Armor Guard An Idea by Nick Sash

22. Whenever one body exerts force upon a second body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force upon the first body. Newton's Third Law 1 st Layer absorbs impact blow 2 nd Layer supports the absorption layer and reacts to the diminished impact force 3 rd Layer absorbs any residual force
