CHESAPEAKE TESTING
Test Scenario 1 – Force Absorption System tested with no brace. Test Scenario 2 – Force Absorption System tested with brace. Sample Red – 0.895 lbs Sample Yellow – 0.91 lbsEach test scenario required 5 valid impacts to the helmet per location and the results for each measured statistic was averaged and reported. In-between each impact, all helmets were adjusted to maintain the positioning listed in Table 1 and 2.

Test Objective
The object of this test was to evaluate the performance of a Force Absorption System provided to NTS-Chesapeake Testing from z7 Neck Brace. Testing was achieved through a simulated helmet to helmet impact using a commercially available football helmet equipped with the force absorption system. Testing was conducted at various speeds ranging from 4.0 m/s to 5.0 m/s when conducting the impacts with high-speed video photography. All helmets along with the force absorption systems and chest pads were tested under similar impact conditions within a temperature and humidity controlled environment. Note that NTSChesapeake Testing does not have the authority or certification. required to endorse the force absorption system. All results are only meant to be a comparison between the samples provided under similar impact scenarios.
