About This Product
Helmets are tested for how well they absorb the energy of a blow. The helmet is fitted on a head-form and dropped onto a fixed anvil, and the acceleration recorded inside the head-form against time shows how much shock reaches the head. Accelerometers mounted at right angles to each other record the motion in all three directions, and the software turns the readings into a test report.
