Abstract

Along the more critical elements in a helmet impact test method is the headform upon which the helmet is mounted. The present study compares the impact response of a cadaver head and of several different headforms for blows to various regions for both helmeted and unhelmeted conditions over a range of impact levels. Test data indicates that certain headforms respond in a more "human-like" manner than do others.
