abstract="The impact protection properties of Punjabi Sikh turbans are compared with the impact protection properties of industrial safety helmets. The test used was a modification of the impact test specified in BS 5240:1975 -- Specification for General Purpose Industrial Safety Helmets.The results indicate that the forces transmitted to the head at comparable impact energies, when wearing a Sikh turban are almost five times greater than when wearing a helmet, for the major part of the head area.<p />",
