Specially designed for minicross, the YOUTH NECK SUPPORT motocross collar works when the helmet and support frame provide an alternative load path for excessive energy compressing the neck. If the helmet is in contact with the collar at the time of impact, the overall load passing through the neck can be reduced, which could prevent a fracture from occurring and reduce the possibility of muscle injury from extreme head movement. Although it is not possible to eliminate the risk of any form of injury, the Alpinestar YOUTH NECK SUPPORT motocross collar has been shown to help reduce the most serious injury and minimize the risk of collateral injury because the impact load is channeled away from the neck.
