Bulletproof vests have anecdotally saved police officers from car accidents as well.

Seems like the sort of thing you might successfully convince new teen drivers to do despite the weird factor (since they're the highest risk demographic).

Edit: If the hats aren't extremely uncomfortable, might also be good fall protection for the elderly...

I will look into the vests. I wonder if paintball protection vests would work for automobile protection?

If the hats aren't extremely uncomfortable, might also be good fall protection for the elderly...

Strongly agree.
