Development of a Novel Helmet System to Prevent Head and Neck Injuries

Abstract

The use of helmets is an important requirement in today's use of land and aircraft due to the safetyof the user and sometimes additional requirements. The helmet is the primary protective equipmentfor safety purposes, especially for motorcycle and bicycle users. In situations that require thecommon use of this protective equipment by more than one person, incompatibility occurs becausethere are different sized head structures and the helmet leaves the user's head in the event of anaccident. In this case, the helmet loses its protection. In this case, head and brain injuries and deathsoccur. The same happens when the single-user helmet is incompatible with the user head sizes. Inthis study, a completely new system has been developed for the prevention of injuries and deathscaused by dimensional mismatch in helmet use. The developed system will be an economicalsolution source with its pneumatic structure. It has been determined that with the use and spread ofthe developed system, it is possible to prevent accidental damage, especially head injuries.</p
