Abstract Summary
This project compared the impact attenuation of three short track speed skating (ST) and two ice hockey (IH) helmets models at two impact velocities and four impact locations. The findings were that IH helmets had better linear and rotational acceleration values across all velocities and locations than ST. Differences in materials can be attributed to these results, however, the different certification requirements may be driving design approaches between helmet manufacturers.
