Abstract

The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 571.201 discusses occupant protection with interior impacts of vehicles. Rule making by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has identified padding for potential injury reduction in vehicles. In these studies, head injury mitigation with padding on vehicular roll bars and brush bars was evaluated. Studies were conducted with free falling Hybrid 50% male head form drops on the fore head and side of the head and a 5% female head. Marked reductions in angular acceleration, as well as head injury criteria (HIC), were observed when compared to unpadded roll bars and brush bars. (A)
