Accident Analysis & Prevention: Angular Impact Mitigation System
This foundational research introduced the Angular Impact Mitigation (AIM) system, an early design using a suspended aluminum honeycomb liner. The AIM system reduced both linear and angular head acceleration and demonstrated significant reductions in concussion and diffuse axonal injury risk—laying the groundwork for future advancements like Nuro.
Accident Analysis Evaluation of a Novel Bicycle Helmet Concept in Oblique Impact Testing
This study compared a traditional EPS helmet, a MIPS-equipped helmet, and a helmet with the Nuro cellular structure in controlled oblique impact tests. Results showed that Euro significantly reduced rotational acceleration and associated brain injury risk—outperforming both MIPS and traditional helmets, especially at higher impact velocities.
Climbing Style Safety Helmets Do Not Improve Protection Over Type II Hard Hats
This recent study analyzed the effectiveness of popular climbing-style helmets in industrial settings. While many Type I helmets failed to protect against side and rear impacts, only Nuro-equipped Type II helmets consistently met or exceeded safety benchmarks for all tested impact directions—reinforcing the need for comprehensive rotational impact protection in the workplace.
Impact Performance Comparison of Type II Safety Helmets
The latest safety helmets now include improved liners to meet ANSI Z89.1 Type II impact standards, with some adding rotational force damping to reduce brain injury risk. This study assessed the performance of these novel helmets.
A New Breed of Type II Helmets: Are Some Safer than Others?
Researchers of the Helmet Impact Testing (HIT) facility at the Legacy Biomechanics Laboratory recently took these new Type II helmets to the test, measured their impact performance and found rather large differences in their protective performance.[1] Their test results can facilitate the daunting task of helmet selection by providing clear guidance from physical test data. This article summarizes their findings from side impact tests similar to ANSI Type II and from oblique impact tests representative of slips, trips, and falls.
Impact Performance Comparison of Advanced Snow Sport Helmets with Dedicated Rotation-Damping Systems
Focusing on snow sport helmets, this study evaluated standard, MIPS, and Nuro models across multiple impact angles and velocities. Nuro-equipped helmets showed the lowest concussion risk across all test scenarios, reducing the predicted probability of concussion to just 7%—compared to 89% for traditional helmets.
