Can we use this in equestrian sports?

Head Impact Indicators For Mountain Biking

Saw this posted on Instagram. Has anyone else seen this? Heard of it? What are your thoughts? Is it viable to use in equestrian sports?

It says it can be mounted on any helmet. Why not ours?

Edited to add: I just searched more on the product and it looks like this was at LR Kentucky. Why hasn’t ( or has there and I missed it) been more information or awareness about this device? I haven’t heard a peep about this and this seems like a huge step Forward in awareness of head injury.

Did anyone who went to Kentucky get to see this in person?

I just saw this on Instagram and my Google search found this post they must be doing a lot of marketing!

I also found a post from them: https://www.tozuda.com/blogs/the-big-brain-blog/concussion-risk-in-horseback-riding
But nothing from equine-focused publications.

My dear friend took a fall this year and ended up having a brain bleed. After the fall she apparently got up and untacked, etc (she doesn’t remember it) and only went to the doc because another person was there who realized something was wrong. It made me worry about the potential for injuring myself and not even knowing it. A clear indicator would be a super helpful way to tell you to get checked out, even if you didn’t know whether you hit your head for sure.

I’d also love to hear from anyone who knows more about it, or talked to them at LR.

@RAyers What are your thoughts on this device?

There are many types of gadget designed to do the same, but they mostly rely on bluetooth. This one doesn’t, but the technology seems a bit stone age.
