Microshock Prevention Device

A device, comprising:

• a helmet comprising:
• an outer shell configured for surrounding a head of a wearer;
• and
• an electrically conductive layer disposed in an interior of the outer shell;
• an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection component positioned in at least a portion of a cavity defined by the interior of the outer shell, the ESD protection component comprising:
• a first portion configured to be removably connected to the electrically conductive layer via an electrically conductive connection mechanism, and
• a second portion configured to be in contact with the wearer of the helmet;
• and
• wherein the ESD protection component is configured to provide a path for electric current to flow from the electrically conductive layer, through the electrically conductive connection mechanism, and to the wearer of the helmet.

A device, comprising:

• a helmet comprising:
• an outer shell configured for surrounding a head of a wearer, and
• an electrically conductive layer disposed in an interior of the outer shell;
• a base layer positioned in at least a portion of a cavity defined by the interior of the outer shell;
• and
• an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection component fixedly attached to the base layer, the ESD protection component comprising:
• a first portion configured to be in contact with the electrically conductive layer, and
• a second portion configured to be in contact with the wearer of the helmet;
• and
• wherein the ESD protection component is configured to provide a path for electric current to flow between the electrically conductive layer and the wearer of the helmet.
