An observational study of 21 high school football programs wearing the VICIS Zero1 helmet indicated a statistically significant reduction in concussions compared to two previous seasons in which players wore other makes of helmet.
The University of Washington’s Dr. Fred Rivara, a pediatrician and epidemiologist whose pioneering work on bicycle helmets informed global standards, led the study of VICIS helmets through the school’s affiliated Harborview Injury Prevention & Research Center.
The VICIS Zero1 has been the top-ranked helmet in NFL and NFLPA laboratory testing for three straight years and has received the highest rating for youth, high school, and college football in testing by Virginia Tech.
