Conceptual completion and development of a prototype of an optimized bicycle safety helmet for improved head protection in child and adult cyclists KU Leuven
Bicycle accident victims are prone to head injury, the head injury being the cause of death in up to 93% of fatal accidents. Moreover, children are highly represented in these statistics and, hence, will strongly benefit from developing the best protective headgear possible. At KULeuven, an interdisciplinary research group has been working on head impact mechanics since 1999. This group was successful in unraveling causative mechanisms for ...
