Test 1

Round 1 Testing of Angular Acceleration

  • Average decrease in Neck Extension during front impact = decrease of 13.4%
  • Decrease in Neck Extension during front impact at a high velocity 7.88 (m/s) = decrease of 43.9%
  • Decrease in Moment (torque) at a high velocity 7.88 (m/s) = decrease of 41.8%
  • Decrease in Head Form Severity at a high velocity 7.88 (m/s) = decrease 14.6%
  • Decrease in Angular Velocity at a high velocity 7.88 (m/s) = decrease 4%
Test 2

Round 2 Testing of Angular Acceleration

  • 120 Impacts were performed in the Front (F) and Front Left Boss (LFB) Directions.
  • Angular Acceleration was attenuated by 27%
Proof
