N2  - Ever since ancient times man has tried to protect himself from the more  serious effects of mechanical violence. The use of primitive types of armour  can be traced at least as far back as about 1500 B.C. This indicates that  people at that time must have had some idea about one of the basic  principles for injury prevention. They obviously understood that the serious  effects of a concentrated blow could be reduced by distributing the forces  over a larger area.<p />
