Welcome to The Helmet Doctors, where we strive to empower you with the knowledge and tools to ensure a safe and exhilarating ride/drive every time knowing your helmet’s structural integrity is in optimal condition.
Below and the following stories we will brief you on the areas:
But now let’s look at …
Internal Damage to Composite Materials
On our website are a schematic diagram and a microscopic view of how composite materials react to impact. Observe that the vast majority of damage does not occur at the point of contact but rather at the back of the material. With our Laser Scanning Cameras, The Helmet Doctors are able to identify, read, record, and measure these defects on your helmet.
An Inside Look – after drop test
During our Helmet Drop Testing at Crashlab, we put through an extensive number of various helmets and drop tested them with a combination of various heights. Our challenge was to confirm our laser scanning camera could identify defects within the helmet’s structural integrity before the helmet owner could realize, they were in danger of using a defective helmet.
According to the Hurt Report, a drop of about 2 meters, or 6.6 feet represents the 90th percentile of crashes & a 10-foot drop (3 meters) represents the 99th percentile of impacts.
For our testing, the energy of each drop, we selected a range of hits typical of both the ECE22.05 and AS/NZS1698 testing regimens. We hit the front right and the rear left of the helmets with an average energy of 190g, using an AS/NZS1698 (drop height of 1830mm x2) and average energy of 219g, using an ECE22.05 (drop height of 2860mm x1). We also did a low-energy drop with an average energy of 114g, using an AS/NZS1698 (drop height of 1385mm x2) onto a Hemispherical Anvil.
In summary
The range of heights and g’s put our testing into the AIS4 and AIS3 categories and an average HIC range of 530 to 2034.
Our extensive testing concluded, upon impact, helmets react in various ways due to the various manufacturing techniques & materials used, the age & condition of the helmet, and also the height and type of impact endured. Our takeaway was that our laser scanning camera can see as low as 10nm with a resolution & clarity like no other.
The Helmet Doctors are able to identify these defects inside the helmet at much lower levels of impact.
Looking at the average levels of impact shows, it shows there is a 20% chance the person in the helmet may have resulted in a concussion.
On the flip side, this actually means there is an 80% chance the helmet owner may not have even realized the helmet was even impacted or the helmet has now been compromised.
Our view is, and always will be, if you know you have hit your helmet during an impact just replace the helmet with a brand-new helmet. It’s only when you are unsure if you did or did not hit your head that our services will be of great benefit, giving you peace of mind and protection.
