how does the design of a motorcycle helmet protect the skull?for my physics homework we were asked to explain how the design if a motorcycle helmet protect the skull. We have been given the information that a motorcycle safety helmet has a soft inner lining which is compressed on impact during an accident.
Basic helmet construction is designed to do the following;
- dissipate the impact force over a large area
- absorb the shock of the impact
- prevent penetrating injury to the skull.
- it also prevents abrasion injuries
