Item #: SCP-xxxx
Object class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is to be contained within an airtight cell, measuring 3 cubic meters, with each face of the cell composed of 6cm hardened steel. The cell is to be kept free of all solid matter. SCP-xxxx is to be fastened to a model of a standard human head, made of ballistics gel, to be inspected weekly for any loss of integrity. Following event xxxx-2, SCP-xxxx is to be secured using steel brackets, suspended in the approximate center of its cell. Any indication of degradation of containment materials is to be acted upon swiftly, replacing affected surfaces. As SCP-xxxx has the potential to cause catastrophic damage in a chain reaction, as found in experiment xxxx-1, access to SCP-xxxx is restricted outside of testing, which must be approved by personnel of level 4 clearance or higher. If, for any reason, SCP-xxxx must be removed from its current position, the object is to be lifted by the face mask and donned by a single D-class with sufficiently high obedience scores. All attending personnel are to maintain a radius of no less than 2 meters from subject. The former subject SCP-xxxx-A is to be maintained in a standard living chamber, to be kept informed of any progress involving SCP-xxxx.

Description: SCP-xxxx is a standard American Football helmet, confirmed to be manufactured by [DATA EXPUNGED], and having no visible differences from a standard instance of the same model. Due to the anomalous property SCP-xxxx, attempted material analysis of the object is considered unwise. The object displays no anomalous properties when undisturbed.

SCP-xxxx’s primary anomalous property activates when the outer shell of the item collides with any solid matter. Upon contact with solid material, combustion will occur instantaneously at the point(s) of impact. The size and power of the explosion resulting from collision is proportional to the total surface area of Scp-xxxx contacted, rather than to the composition or volume of the contacted object. The lowest recorded energy released from a single collision event is 0.462 kWh, triggered by contact with a common house fly. SCP-xxxx displays a secondary anomalous property upon activation, as SCP-xxxx is completely unharmed by the explosions it creates. When SCP-xxxx is worn by an individual, this secondary effect extends to the subject, from this point referred to as SCP-xxxx-A. Instances of SCP-xxxx-A gain the ability to make contact with any part of the object, so long as it remains in their possession. All instances can be otherwise interacted with normally, and will cease all anomalous activity upon death or separation from SCP-xxxx.

There appears to be no limitation to the materials that can trigger SCP-xxxx's effect, including living organisms (except SCP-xxxx-A). Most subjects quickly expire after coming into contact with SCP-xxxx.

While SCP-xxxx is seemingly immune to any damage caused by its anomaly, it is not unaffected by the reactions. Because SCP-xxxx has a tendency to create large chain reactions culminating in increasingly devastating blasts, this makes it possible for the object to move erratically, causing heavy destruction across great distances.

Addendum xxxx-1: SCP-xxxx was brought to the attention of the foundation following reports of explosions at a college football game in ████████, Virginia. Approximately 13 minutes into the first half, after a substitution, a collision by player Andrew Forts resulted in the activation of SCP-xxxx's anomalous properties. Agent ████, on leave while recovering from lacerations sustained in [DATA EXPUNGED], moved to assist nearby security force in crowd control. Foundation personnel arrived at the scene and administered class-A amnestics to all civilians involved. Incident was explained as an act of terror, committed by D-4027. SCP-xxxx was eventually recovered along with Andrew Forts, and contained by field agents.
