The Bobblehead Effect

In theory, headgear works like your iPhone case:

“When the impact of the strike lands on the headgear, the headgear is designed to absorb the shock,” says Chad Coppenbarger, product development manager for research and development at TITLE Boxing, one of the sport’s biggest equipment makers. By absorbing and dispersing that blow, it supposedly “reduces the risks of, you know, the long-term build-up.”
