Abstract

An investigation of the effectiveness of contemporary motorcycle helmets and the Canadian safety standard applying to them (CSA D230-1970) is reported. In relation to head impacts the following accident factors were studied: the type of helmet used and its certification; the location of the blow on the helmet; the nature of the object striking the helmet; the blow severity; the direction of the blow; helmet retention; and facial and neck injuries.
