3 facts that might make you wonder why all curlers aren’t already wearing Forcefield® headbands:

3 minutes

In Canada, a concussion happens every 3 minutes.

60,000 and 20%

Health Canada estimates up to 60,000 Canadian children and youth sustain a serious, quality of life altering, preventable head injury each year. Between 20% to 30% of all adults over 65 fall each year and fall-related injuries are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations among older adults.

** $2,000,000,000 a year

Preventable head injuries are a multi-billion dollar problem.
We spend $2,000,000,000 to treat and support Canadians sustaining a head injury each year.

All preventable injuries cost Canadians $26,800,000,000 $26.8 billion dollars a year.

The cause of a brain injury is not only from head impact. A jolt to the body can also cause brain injury. Brain injuries are difficult to detect because they are invisible, you don’t have to loose consciousness to have one and symptoms do not always show up right away.
Canadians are concerned

The Canadian Government infused over $4,000,000 into concussion research 2013. Another 2 million 2016 to create and promote a national plan to solve the problem. more...

Awareness, detection, healing time before returning to play and prevention have never been more important because concussion symptoms may not show up right after impact (you don't have to be knocked unconscious). more...

Sports organizations take action

We know headgear helps

Canadian Medical Research tells us non-collision sports head injuries are twice as likely without headgear.

Is headgear the solution?

Your sport is already designed to be safe. The answer is: Your attention to the rules and proper technique is the key. Headgear will not eliminate concussions. Headgear does not make it safe to play fearlessly. Headgear does reduce the impact forces reaching your head and your brain.

Forcefield Protective Headgear™ can be one part of your safety plan.

what they're saying about Forcefield®

“It is in my opinion a very urgent matter and they really work.”

“I have been active in talking to coaches about head and neck injuries for the past twenty five years and I have been recommending the FF Headband to all.”

Alan B. Ashare, MD, Chairman of the Safety & Protective Equipment Committee of USA Hockey, author, “Returning to play after concussion”

“Helmets and headbands do not prevent concussions. Their cushioning effect reduces the degree of kinetic energy directed to the head and the brain; an extra layer of protection from a glancing blow.”

Dr. Brian Hunt, Canadian Neurosurgeon, Concussion Education and Awareness Committee Expert, ThinkFirst BC co-Founder

“So comfortable I forget I’m wearing it.”

Bev V., Curling Coach

“J’aimerais être la première de mon club de curling à porter fièrement un bandeau de sécurité pour protéger ma tête en cas de chute sur la glace. Je pense que ça prouverait qu’il devient plus important de penser “sécurité”, même si certaines personnes se moquent un peu de cette attitude!”

Chantal B., Curler

“It’s a huge problem and anything to prevent head injury is welcome. Not only reducing impact, this Forcefield headband can prevent hematomas and lacerations and scrapes, all good to reduce head injuries. I am glad to help spread the word.”

Dr. Jeff Weisbrot, MD, FRCP(C), Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Behavioral Counseling Medical Education Specialist, Private Practitioner, Pediatric. Director of Medical Education, MacKenzie Health. Accomplished past Chief of Pediatrics York Central Hospital and Staff Physician, The Hospital for Sick Children. Published Author on Child Care.

“Care should always be taken to avoid any brain trauma and to minimize the risk of a greater injury. Early injury detection plays a key role. Taking preventative measures, like wearing headgear, is also important.”

Harry Zarins (1951-2016), Executive Director, Brain Injury Canada
