Evaluation of military helmets and roof padding on head injury potential from vertical impacts.

CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study provide initial quantitative findings which provide a better understanding of helmet-roof interactions in vertical impacts and the contributions of the military helmet and roof padding to mitigating head injury potential. Findings from this study will be used to inform further testing with the future aim of developing a new minimum head clearance standard for occupants of light armoured vehicles.
