Helmet Lab puts snow sport helmets to the test

The Virginia Tech Helmet Lab has released ratings for snow sports helmets, the first to evaluate how effectively headgear worn by skiers and snowboarders protects against head injuries like concussion. The researchers, lead by associate professor of biomedical engineering and mechanics Steve Rowson, combed through hours of footage to study how these athletes hit their heads in real-world events, and then recreated those impacts in the lab to measure how 35 helmets on the market stack up against each other. This is the seventh major ratings release for the lab, which has been redefining sports safety since they first published ratings for varsity football helmets in 2011.
