ASTM Impact Testing Results Chart Comparing ProtectaCap® & ProtectaCap+Plus® Protective Headgear with Others.
The GMax [maximum gravity] means the amount of impact energy that is still hitting the head while wearing the helmet. The lower the number, the less impact energy reaches the head and the more effective the helmet. A GMax number above 200 is dangerous.
Compare the GMax of Plum’s® Protective Helmets to Vinyl-Dipped Helmets. The ProtectaCap® and ProtectaCap+Plus® Protective Headgear GMax numbers are the lowest.
The lower the GMax number the better the head protection.
While no protective headgear can guarantee protection from all impacts or injuries, Plum® engineers its ProtectaCap® and ProtectaCap+Plus® protective helmets for safety and lightweight comfort for babies, toddlers, adults and elderly head protection from falls.
Children age 4 and younger are at high risk of falling. TBI is the primary cause of death and severe injury in children who suffer falls.
>> Consumer Products Safety Commission
Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injury (TBI), with TBI accounting for 46 percent of fatal falls among older adults.
>> American Association of Neurological Surgeons
Recovery from concussion is slower among older adults and young children. And those who have had a concussion are at higher risk of having another concussion.
>> The Centers for Disease Control
The prevalence of concussions among school children as young as 8 has more than doubled from 1997 to 2007 among students playing basketball, soccer, and football.
>> The American Academy of Pediatrics
Traumatic brain injury can cause a wide range of short- and long-term changes in thinking and emotions. Concussion symptoms of difficulty in thinking clearly, overwhelming sadness, trouble sleeping and anxiety may not even be noticed for days or months after the head injury.
>> The Centers for Disease Control

Plum® Protective Headgear Customer Love
“The ProtectaCap® has worked out great. My daughter loves it. She couldn’t stand the vinyl one; it was bulky and uncomfortable.”
C. Winkelmann
“We were so glad to receive information on your ProtectaCap®! Our son had cranial surgery and we had to wrap his head in layers and layers of gauze and cotton which was getting harder to do as he regained his strength after the surgery. At the six-week post-op appointment, we showed the ProtectaCap® to the surgeon and he thought it was great! Thank you for making a usable, durable headgear; it fits our needs perfectly!”
J.Ewing
“My name is Tiffany and I’m leaving a message to say thank you for the ProtectaCap®. I’m 34 and I fall all the time. And ProtectaCap® has saved me from being knocked out. Thank you for such a great product.”
Tiffany
“We’ve heard all positive things about the ProtectaCap® helmets. They’ve worked great for our patients post-surgery and the compliance is wonderful. We’re completely switching to them from our previous helmets. We still have some of our old helmets, but we won’t use them anymore.”
T. Bonaldo, RN, Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital.
“Your ProtectaCap® has been wonderful for my wife, Mary.”
