There is a large window-lined laboratory in the back of one of Clemson University’s most storied buildings, Newman Hall, filled with machines that look like they were extracted straight from Dr.

When it comes to protecting riders helmets are usually judged on crash-test performance, padding, and shell durability. And even then, most helmets are meant to prevent skull fracture more than they ...

San Francisco 49er defensive end Nick Bosa’s helmet is unremarkable from the outside. On the inside, though, are pads custom 3D-printed to the shape of his head that are shown to reduce impact injury ...

Advanced simulation tools, 3D-printed materials, and AI workflows are transforming how protective helmets are designed and ...

Background Certification standards governing short track (ST) helmets only require high velocity impacts be tested. Rotational acceleration and low velocity impacts are mechanisms of injury which are ...

Objective To compare the impact attenuation characteristics between ST and IH helmets, in both high and low velocity impacts. Design Two-group experimental design. Setting Impacts were performed in ...
