**Method and Apparatus for Simulating Head Impacts for Helmet Testing.** This invention describes an apparatus with a frame, an impact delivery unit, and a head form designed to hold a helmet. The impact unit delivers force to a designated location on the head form, which can rotate around multiple axes while being constrained to rotate around only one axis at a time. A measuring system indicates the head form’s rotational acceleration. The disclosed methods also enable comparisons of the protection provided by different helmets.

Career Highlights

Saunders’s listed patent work focuses on helmet testing and the measurement of rotational acceleration during simulated impacts. The supplied career information also associates him with Other and Saunders, Fraser Worden; the company entry “Other” is omitted because it does not identify a specific organization.
