abstract="This paper presents the result of a research on rigidity characteristics of the body which might help reduce head injuries, and on the specific structures designed to meet these requirements. The possible force-deformation (F-S) characteristics of the hood which makes the severity of head injuries no more than Head Injury Criterion (HIC) 1000 was first investigated. Then, candidate structures that might realize such F-S characteristics were studied using laboratory impact tests and computer simulations.<p />",
