Safe-T-Shirt is a protective device youth and adults can wear to help reduce the possibility of personal injury during contact sports. The Safe-T-Shirt system consists of a polycarbonate resin deflector, wrapped in high impact foam, inserted into a specially designed pocket inside a custom designed T-Shirt that provides unencumbered, lightweight protection.

Baseball and softball expenses can add up to hundreds of dollars when you factor in league fees, uniforms, cleats, caps, and gloves. For a minimal additional cost, you can add a Safe-T-Shirt to your child's equipment and see your child play in another baseball game!

Factors that predispose the recreation athlete to injury:

• Poor Technique
• Inadequate Coaching
• Lack of Conditioning
• Unsafe Equipment
• LACK OF PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Accidental injury remains the leading cause of death in the pediatric age group. Sports injuries are a huge subgroup of this population. Between 1983 to 1989 there were 2,655,404 baseball and softball injuries documented from selected emergency rooms throughout the United States.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission conducted a study which found that there are more baseball related fatalities in the 5-14 year old age group than for any other sport. 51 baseball related deaths of children were documented, 21 cases involved impact of a baseball to the child's heart. Since the study, 14 more deaths have been reported.

As a parent, it is your responsibility to see that your child is protected from injury.

As a coach, you take responsibility to assure safety for your players.

Don't be the parent in the stands or the coach in the dugout saying, "If I only would have made my child or player wear a Safe-T-Shirt, this may not have happened."
