Lab Testing
Atlas uses a 3rd party lab in California - keeping us removed from the process. The lab designs & performs the various test scenarios, then provides us with the raw, unbiased data and findings
The goal of lab testing is to work within specific parameters for high accuracy & repeatability. In the case of neck braces, the lab measures force reduction in various brace vs no brace scenarios
Average force reduction with and without an Atlas Brace™ are shown below*
Lower results are better
Hyperextension
Head backwards/up
Axial Load
Compression, top of the head
Hyperflexion
Head forwards/down
Our goal is to lower the peak forces enough to get below the threshold of severe injury
Our flexion and extension testing also includes compressive forces - Performing tests this way mimics typical real life crash scenarios to provide accurate and meaningful data
While it may not be directly comparable to other brands data, we believe this more stringent approach is the correct method to validate the effectiveness of neck braces

The Head
Testing has also shown force reduction to the head is possible in certain scenarios - as evident from the helmet damage shown here**
Identical tests were performed with and without a brace using two identical brand new helmets
Left - Fractured shell (no brace)
Right - Scuffed paint (with Atlas Brace™)
Le laboratoire est utilisé pour effectuer des tests hautement reproductibles pour mesurer la réduction de force.

*Our testing is performed different than other manufacturers, results may not be directly comparable
**Neck braces are not designed or intended to reduce head injuries. Concussions and other serious head injuries do not require crashing, compressive forces, or involvement of the neck brace to occur.
