Helmet Design Standards

Helmet design standards are guidelines that ensure helmets provide adequate protection for users, particularly in activities like biking, skiing, or construction. These standards assess factors such as impact resistance, durability, and comfort. Organizations, like the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), create tests to check how well helmets can absorb shock and protect the head during accidents. Compliance with these standards means the helmet has passed safety tests and is effective in reducing the risk of injury, making it essential for users to choose helmets that meet recognized safety certifications.
