Abstract

Shock absorption properties of protective helmets for road users are currently tested by one of three methods viz.: the rigid headform, the swingaway headform and the falling headform modes. The rigid headform method is limited in scope as regards possible impact sites for modern road helmets which afford head protection well beyond the extent of their forerunners. The swingaway headform and the falling headform methods both overcome this limitation.
