Abstract

Provided herein are exemplary methods for reducing or preventing skull injury, the method comprising covering a human skull above all of or a first portion of a squamous temporal bone. Methods may also include covering the human skull with a first layer of material that reduces or prevents the first layer of material from contacting or impacting all of or a first portion of the squamous temporal bone. The first layer of material may be connected to a device or apparatus for supporting the first layer of material above or in close proximity to the all of or the first portion of the squamous temporal bone. Additionally, the method may include comprising covering the human skull above all of or a second portion of a squamous temporal bone.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for reducing or preventing skull injury, the method comprising covering a human skull above all of or a first portion of a squamous temporal bone. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising covering the human skull with a first layer of material that reduces or prevents the first layer of material from contacting or impacting all of or a first portion of the squamous temporal bone. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising the first layer of material connected to a device or apparatus for supporting the first layer of material above or in close proximity to the all of or the first portion of the squamous temporal bone. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising covering the human skull above all of or a second portion of a squamous temporal bone. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising covering the human skull with a second layer of material that reduces or prevents the second layer of material from contacting or impacting all of or the second portion of the squamous temporal bone. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising the second layer of material connected to the device or apparatus for supporting the second layer of material above or in close proximity to the all of or the second portion of the squamous temporal bone. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising the first layer of material and the second layer of material forming a single layer of material. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising providing any of or all of: a chin strap, ear protection, a perforated cover, scalp protection, cross member struts, forehead protection, orbit protection, a peaked forehead design, an integrated camera mount, an integrated electroluminescent wire channel, a power supply mount, and an electroluminescent wire. 
     
     
         9 . A device or apparatus comprising:
 a first layer of material that reduces or prevents the first layer of material from contacting or impacting all of or a first portion of the squamous temporal bone;   a second layer of material that reduces or prevents the second layer of material from contacting or impacting all of or the second portion of the squamous temporal bone; and   the first and second layers of material connected to the device or apparatus.   
     
     
         10 . The device or apparatus of  claim 9 , further comprising providing any of or all of: a chin strap, ear protection, a perforated cover, scalp protection, cross member struts, forehead protection, orbit protection, a peaked forehead design, art integrated camera mount, an integrated electroluminescent wire channel, a power supply mount, and an electroluminescent wire. 
     
     
         11 . A method of making a means for reducing or preventing skull injury, the method comprising assembling:
 a means for reducing or preventing contact or impact of all of or a first portion of a squamous temporal bone;   a means for reducing or preventing contact or impact of all of or a second portion of a squamous temporal bone;   at least one means for ear protection;   a means for scalp protection;   a means for forehead protection;   a means for orbit protection;   a means for mounting a camera;   a means for electroluminescence;   a means for power supply;   a means for supporting the power supply;   a means for contact with a human chin;   a means for supporting all or some of the above means, the means for supporting on or in close proximity to a human skull; and wherein at least one means substitutes or functions for at least one other means.
