Abstract

Crash performance of motorcycle safety helmets can be determined by reconstruction of accident events and special examination of the safety helmet. Accident dynamics were correlated with helmet damage to evaluate performance for retention, penetration resistance, and impact attenuation. Special problems of impact signature identification are related and helmet tests for replication of accident conditions are described.
