We were approached by several visitors at NPE whose companies were interested in learning more about impact testing of helmets as it relates to increased safety. Many of us that are sports enthusiasts are reading more and more about concussions and the potentially devastating effects they can have on athletes as they occur on the field – and their long-lasting effects later on in life. There is a growing urgency to enhance the safety of athletes – especially in football and hockey.
Not only are our customers focusing on safety, I found this interesting article about two high school althetes who, after witnessing a sports-related injury, decided to enter the Rhode Island Science & Engineering Fair with their findings on impact testing of head gear. I won't spoil their results, but I will mention that they went on to receive blue ribbons for their project!
