Abstract

Investigations of motorcycle accidents have in the past revealed that helmets were failing to be effective for certain types of impact, or were coming off in accidents.BS 6658 includes new performance requirements that force manufacturers to address themselves to these design aspects. These are effective short term remedies. In the long term a different range of helmet sizes may provide better helmet retention for the variety of human head shapes.
