This study sought to assess response differences between two of the most commonly used headforms, the Hybrid III and National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment headforms, through a series of helmeted impact tests. A total of 180 pendulum impact tests were conducted with three impactor velocities and six impact locations. Test condition-specific significant differences were found between the two headforms for peak linear and angular accelerations ($alpha$ = 0.05), although differences tended to be small. On average, the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment headform experienced higher peak linear (3.7 ± 7.8%) and angular (12.0 ± 21.6%) accelerations, with some of the largest differences associated with impacts to the facemask. Without the facemask impacts, the average differences in linear (1.8 ± 6.0%) and angular (9.6 ± 15.9%) acceleration would be lower. No significant differences were found in coefficient of variation values for linear (Hybrid III: 2.6 ± 2.3%, National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment: 2.0 ± 1.4%) or angular (Hybrid III: 4.9 ± 4.0%; National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment: 5.2 ± 5.8%) acceleration. These data have application toward development and validation of future helmet evaluation protocols and standards. © IMechE 2015.},

We tested 3 new and 3 randomly selected used helmets from 2 popular lacrosse models (Cascade Pro7, Cascade CPXR). All used helmets had been worn for 3 collegiate seasons prior to testing and had never been refurbished. Helmets were drop-tested using 3 prescribed impact velocities at 6 locations according to the NOCSAE lacrosse helmet standard, and we compared the Gadd Severity Index (GSI) scores between new and used helmets using a repeated measure ANOVA with location as the repeated variable and data separated by impact velocity. All 12 helmets passed the NOCSAE GSI threshold for all testing conditions; however 1 used helmet shell cracked resulting in a failed test. We found a significant main effect for helmet age at the low (F5},
