Lateral Helmet Loading




Team contact information: ukbae.helml@gmail.com

International organizations such as BSI and ARB have lateral crushing standards in place, but the ASTM currently does not. A headform simulating skull movement, material, and damage containing sensors that monitor important data will be used in conjunction with testing to create these standards. Lateral crushing situations have the potential to occur during equestrian events, meaning a standard would ensure equestrian helmets are regulated at the level of the rest of the world.
