Helmet for attenuating impact event

An impact attenuation helmet construction, comprising:

• a rigid outer shell;
• a rigid inner shell adapted to being worn upon a wearer's head and arranged a spatially separated distance from said outer shell;
• a plurality of resilient and elastic force absorbing components extending between said inner and outer shells in a three dimensional array to spatially support said outer shell a distance from an outer surface of said inner shell;
• said plurality of resilient and elastic force absorbing components each including outer flattened opposite end portions secured to opposing surface locations of said inner and outer shells;
• said plurality of resilient and elastic force absorbing components each further including first and second circular disks in a rotatably offset and intersecting arrangement so that said first and second circular disks connect at opposite ends to said outer flattened opposite end portions;
• and
• upon an impact force being exerted on said outer shell, said outer shell displacing relative to said inner shell such that a first sub-plurality of said plurality of resilient and elastic force absorbing components located proximate a point of said impact force being caused to compress, a second sub-plurality of said plurality of resilient and elastic force absorbing components being caused to stretch and bend, and a third sub-plurality of said plurality of resilient and elastic force absorbing components being caused to stretch, depending upon location of said plurality of resilient and elastic force absorbing components relative to the impact, force and in order to deflect and to attenuate the impact force, preventing the impact force from transferring to the inner shell.
