Abstract
The disclosed technology includes methods, systems, and apparatus related to utilizing high strength magnets to adhere accessories, decorative units, and other features to a helmet without compromising the safety features of the helmet. The magnets may be attached in magnet-based mounting systems to the helmet or integrated into the helmet. The mounting systems may include rare-earth magnets and high strength adhesives to adhere to a helmet surface and maintain attachment during high speed or contact, such as during sports activities. In some embodiments, accessories, decorative units, and other features include electronics for lighting, music, video, GPS, or other features.
