Procedural Handbook for Escape System/Accident Investigation Helmet Usage Aspects, Including Failure Analysis.

Abstract

Aircrew protective helmets are currently developed to reduce the severity of head impact injuries. Many helmets involved in ejections and land and water crashes may provide clues concerning the sequence of events immediately prior to and/or during the accident. Helmet design may have been a factor in the serious and sometimes fatal injuries sustained during these accidents. This handbook will describe a systematic analysis of aircrewman's helmets involved in accidents or ejections. This analysis may identify and recognize design weaknesses and result in the initiation of appropriate effective remedial action. (Author)
