protection against blunt trauma

Protection against blunt trauma involves using barriers or padding to absorb or deflect impact energy, reducing injury risk. Equipment like helmets, padding, and protective clothing help distribute force across a larger area, preventing damage to bones, tissues, and organs. Structural safeguards, such as vehicle crumple zones and safety guards, also absorb force during accidents. Proper technique and awareness can minimize impact severity. Together, these measures help prevent serious injuries by managing and reducing the force transferred to the body during a blow or collision.
