In snow sports, crashing isn’t a failure—it’s part of the ride. Conditions change, edges catch, visibility drops, and even the best riders misjudge a line. Gravity wins. No matter how skilled, experienced, or cautious you are. What matters more than avoiding crashes is riding smart—knowing how to fall safely, how to get back up, and just as importantly, how to recognize when it’s time to pause.
That’s where Crash Patch™ comes in. It uses shock-detection technology to turn red after any helmet impact at or over 75G — an alert threshold identified by neurologists as high risk.1
How Crash Patch™ works
Simple. Fast. Built for the mountain.
Stick the Patch
Apply Crash Patch™ close to the top-center of your helmet before you ride.
Check
the Hit
Red means your helmet has experienced a significant impact.
Knowing When to Stop Matters:
Not every slam feels serious right away. Delayed symptoms are common.2
Impact is measured in G-force and 75G is a high-risk alert threshold set by neurologists.1
Wearing a helmet is key to head safety. Knowing when it’s been hit hard helps you take better care of yourself.
If Crash Patch™ turns red or you experience symptoms, consult a medical professional immediately.
