Abstract

The purpose of this brief paper is to provide, for those not thoroughly familiar with helmet technology, an overview of the manner by which protective headgear achieves its primary function; protect the helmet wearer from head impact injury. How this can be best achieved within the context of a particular environment, operating a motorcycle, will be discussed.
