Quantitative analysis of the protective performance of bicycle helmet with multi-direction impact protection system in oblique impact tests

CONCLUSION: The findings indicated that helmets incorporating MIPS offer enhanced protection against various oblique impact loads. When assessing helmets for oblique impacts, the utilization of larger angle anvils and rear impacts might not adequately evaluate protective performance during an impact event. These findings will guide advancements in helmet design and the refinement of oblique impact test protocols.PMID:38490942 | DOI:10.1016/j.cjtee.2024.03.002
