Abstract

Tests of free fall of fresh cadavers, wearing helmets or not, onto a rigid flat surface are described together with their results and compared with dropping of the heads of helmeted dummies falling in a similar way from the same heights together with dropping of metallic headfrom. The conclusions relate to human tolerance to lateral impacts of the head and the performances of the helmets.
