A force re-direction strap, system, and method of use.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A force redirection strap for protective head gear comprising:
 at least a first strap with a first and a second end wherein the first end and the second end of the at least a first strap is removably attached to opposite lateral sides of the protective head gear; and   wherein the at least a first strap is positioned such that the first strap is above the horizontal plane of the midpoint of a user's head.   
     
     
         2 . The force redirection strap of  claim 1 , further comprising at least a second strap with a first and a second end wherein the first end is removably attached to the top of the protective head gear and the second end is fixedly attached to the midpoint of the at least a first strap. 
     
     
         3 . The force redirection strap of  claim 1 , further comprising at least a third strap with a first and a second end wherein the first and second ends are fixedly attached to opposite lateral sides of the at least a first strap. 
     
     
         4 . The force redirection strap of  claim 1 , further comprising a means for adjusting the length of the first strap. 
     
     
         5 . The force redirection strap of  claim 2 , further comprising a means for adjusting the length of the second strap. 
     
     
         6 . A method of using a force redirecting strap comprising:
 providing at least a first strap with a first and a second end wherein the first end and the second of the at least a first strap are removably attached to opposite lateral sides of the protective head gear; and   positioning the at least a first strap such that the first strap is above the horizontal plane of the midpoint of a user's head.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising the step of providing at least a second strap with a first and a second end wherein the first end is removably attached to the top of the protective head gear and the second end is fixedly attached to the midpoint of the at least a first strap. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising the step of providing at least a third strap with a first and a second end wherein the first and second ends are fixedly attached to opposite lateral sides of the at least a first strap. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6  wherein further comprising the step of providing a means for adjusting the length of the first strap. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7  wherein further comprising the step of providing a means for adjusting the length of the second strap. 
     
     
         11 . A force redirection strap system comprising:
 protective head gear,   at least a first strap with a first and a second end wherein the first and second end of the first strap are removably attached to opposite lateral sides of the protective head gear,   at least a second strap with a first and a second end wherein the first end is removably attached to the top of the protective head gear and the second end is fixedly attached to the midpoint of the at least a first strap,   at least a third strap with a first and a second end wherein the first and second ends are fixedly attached to opposite lateral sides of the at least a first strap,   a means for adjusting the length of the first strap,   a means for adjusting the length of the second strap; and   wherein the at least a first strap is positioned such that the first strap is above the horizontal plane of the midpoint of a user's head.
