Abstract

The relationships of various protection materials and systems to basic principles of energy transfer are discussed, and some considerations are given to animal experiments in the study of the mechanisms of head injury. A brief analyses is presented of field data from approximately 300 accidents involving road user helmets. Correlation of injury to site and number of impacts, vehicle velocity, and impact energy absorbed is made.
