N2  - Tests of free fall of fresh cadavers, both with and without helmets, onto a rigid flat surface are described. The results are compared with those obtained using helmeted dummies falling in a similar way from the same height and also with the dropping of a metallic head form. The conclusions relate to human tolerance to lateral impacts of the head and the performance of the helmets (a).<p />
