Results of Continued Freefall Helmet Impact Studies

Abstract

A new sample foam insert for the Protec helmet was impact tested along with a standard insert to determine differences in impact protection. This testing was performed to ascertain the suitability of the new protective insert in the role of freefall parachute helmet. The testing showed that the performance of the new insert was better than the standard insert, but did not meet the standards set prior to testing.
