- Abstract (EN)
- Head and facial injuries constitute a substantial portion of bicyclist injuries. Helmets reduce bicyclists' head and facial injuries, but not to the same extent for all injury types and locations. Current safety standards for bicycle helmets around the world, including EN1078 (Europe), CPSC 16 CFR 1203 (United States), JIS T8134 (Japan), AS/NZS 2063 (Australia and New Zealand) and GB 24429 (China), prescribe a standard test line or area for impact attenuation assessment that has limited coverage to head and face. The middle and lower part of the face, which are not protected by most existing helmet designs, are susceptible to soft tissue injuries, fractures and mandibular loading that can cause diffuse brain injury and basilar skull fracture. This study aims to quantify bicyclist head impact locations based on the Germ.an In-Depth Accident Study (GIDAS). Knowing which part of the head is impacted most frequently can inform future test method development and helmet designs beyond existing standards requirement. [from Introduction]
