While we often think of bulletproof vests as the primary form of safety equipment for law enforcement and adjacent fields like corrections, officers face a multitude of threats daily. The risk of harm from sharp weapons like knives, shanks, and other improvised devices has continued to rise steadily across North
Blunt force trauma (BFT) is a significant safety concern across multiple industries globally, particularly in fields like law enforcement, the military, and industrial sectors, where the risk of sudden impacts and exposure to lethal force is much higher than in other vocations. Blunt force injuries are among the highest causes
Advanced assessment of blunt trauma resulting from bullet strike to body armour or from less-lethal munitions.
Football is one of the most popular sports across North America, with countless views across the US and Canada tuning in each week to watch their favourite players hit the field. It’s also a high-impact sport that has seen increasing attention as safety regulators, league organizations and equipment manufacturers all
Commercial drone (UAV) technology and usage continue to evolve rapidly, with regulators and manufacturers striving to stay on top of guidelines to help improve their efficiency and performance and, most importantly, ensure safety during operations. In early 2024, AVSS (Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions Inc) managed to achieve an industry milestone
When facing the realities of in-field tactical operations, ensuring the efficacy of body armour against projectiles and other sources of harm is essential for safety and harm mitigation. Whether from a law enforcement, military, security, or industry-adjacent perspective, the significant increase in risk posed by modern warfare tactics and weaponry
Impact trauma, often referred to as blunt force trauma (BFT), can have profoundly detrimental effects on the human body, lasting well beyond the point of impact. The sudden, forceful transfer of kinetic energy into the human body can lead to a variety of injuries, ranging from minor contusions to severe,
Navigating modern law enforcement, military and security engagements requires an increasingly complex understanding of the risks of lethality, as well as the chance for long-term harm to those targeted by weapons deployment. The deployment of lethal force, whether by deploying a firearm, physical strikes, or other measures, is expected to
Whether a professional, amateur or recreational athlete, every sport contains some amount of injury risk. However, sudden impact to the head can lead to a variety of injuries, ranging from contusions and lacerations to concussions, skull fracture and severe traumatic brain injury. Even whiplash, often thought of as a neck
Impact injury research forms the bedrock of safety research, especially when guided by Biokinetics’ decades of consulting and testing experience. As a way of assessing the factors that contribute to impact injuries, as well as how specific variables affect the severity and long-term effects on the human body, impact injury
