Abstract: A protective device (10) is provided for protecting the back of a wearer against injury. The device (10) includes an array (14) of support elements (12) that extend along the wearer's back adjacent his spine and is held in position on his back by attachment means, which can include a neck brace (38) attached to the upper end of array (14), a chest strap (46), a waist strap (50) and/or webbing (52) that are spaced apart axially along the array (14), The support elements (12) are attached to each other in such a way that they can move relative to each other to allow free, but limited bending, extension and contraction of the array, but the connection means (24,26,28,30,34,36) between the elements (12) is configured to prevent further movement between them once a predetermined limited movement has taken place, so that the array (14) becomes practically rigid and can bear further loading that may otherwise have been born by the spine.

Abstract: A neck brace (10) is provided, which has an impact surface (30) which that can limit movement of a helmet by contacting an underside of the helmet, bearing surfaces (44,72,88) configured for bearing on the body of a wearer, and a structure (24,66,94,100) between the impact surface (30) and the bearing surfaces (44,72,88), that can transfer impact loads of the helmet on the impact surface (30), to the wearer's body. Parts (92,98) of the neck brace (10) that defines part of the impact surface (30) are displaceable towards the wearer s body and the structure (94,100) is configured to permit the displacement at rates slower than a predetermined rate, but to resist displacement if the rate exceeds the predetermined rate. The displacement of the parts (92,98) allow the wearer to move the helmet to positions not otherwise permitted by the impact surface (30), but the resistance to displacement ensures that impact loads can still be transferred from the helmet to the body, during impacts.
