Project summary
This project rated bicycle helmets used on the UK roads with respect to their effects on preventing head injury.
It developed an evidence-based and research-led method for rating bicycle helmets that represent real-world impact conditions experienced by cyclist casualties that subject the head to large forces.
The results are being disseminated widely to reach consumers, giving them evidence-informed ratings of cycle helmet safety. This includes the newly launched Hiper website.
