Helmet

Since the early Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of China, helmets were already in existence. As weapons became more advanced, so did the materials that were used in producing modern military helmets.ard about this.

In 1914, General Adrian went to a hospital to visit soldiers that were injured during the war. One soldier who was hit told him, I was in the kitchenpreparing a meal when the German soldiers fired at us, I held tight to a wok to shield my head. Many were shot dead, but I escaped with only a few scratches.

Adrian was pleased when he heard about this. He summoned a soldier immediately to look for that broken wok. He then formed a special task force and created the modern combat helmet named the Adrian Helmet. The helmet helped reduce between 2 to 5% of casualties in subsequent wars.

The modern helmet not only protects against bomb fragments, but also agains weather, chemical weapons, earthquakes and other natural or man made disasters.
