In a video on the companys website, an unprotected ball hit by a hard object is shown breaking into many pieces. But a ball protected by Armourgel does not break. That is because the Armourgel pad hardens and absorbs the energy of the object when it is hit. Soon after the material hardens, it becomes soft again.

　　Steven Gambert is a geriatric trauma specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center. He helps older men and women who have suffered injuries. He told on Skype that having the ability to turn soft quickly means Armourgel can be put into clothing. But Doctor Gambert says, bone protectors, no matter how good, are not the best solution.

　　The key is to prevent the bones from losing their mineral content, staying healthy. And then even if you fall, you wont break your bone, said Gambert.

　　Daniel Plant says, stores could begin selling clothing with Armourgel as soon as 2016.
