Mk3 Helmet Test

A video of a proper test this time (it's not all about squishing fruit in new and exciting ways). The helmet is mounted on a headform, which is, in turn, mounted onto a load cell. This load cell can tell us exactly what amount of energy is transferred onto the head of a user. The limit is 5kN, and our average is about 1.6kN, way below the limit...

Protect your head! Use JSP Mk7!

Remember the watermelon we splattered in an earlier video post? Well, you'll be glad to know it was protected once upon a time, and this video is evidence of it! A Mk7 JSP helmet protects the juicy fruit expertly, and on taking off the helmet, we are pleased to tell you that no injury was suffered... for a bit anyway.

We've shown heads, now what about eyes?

So, as previous videos have shown, wearing head protection is probably a good idea, unless you want the brain's equivalent of melon seeds everywhere. But what about eyes? In this video, we use a cherry tomato to replicate the human eyeball, and fire a 6mm steel ball bearing at it, at 120 metres/second (270mph). Do you want to put your safety spectacles on now then? Thought so...

Yet Another Melon Test!

As if the point were not clear and obvious enough, here's another video showing the effect of an object falling onto human head. This is an impact testing weight of 5kg, dropped from a static point, 1 metre above the specimen...

Hot Helmet Impact Test!

This video shows an impact tested helmet that has been preconditioned to a temperature of 50 degrees celcius to simulate the environment exposure in warmer climates. Note the helmet depresses a lot, but the harness underneath keeps the impacted area well away from the skull at all times.
