Prevention of head and neck trauma in snowboard and skiing

The study follows two objectives: (1) Development and evaluation a computer model that is able to simulate different impacts and helmet properties thus quantifying different helmets` capacity to protect the skier/snowboarder from severe damage. (2) Simulation of typical head to slope collisions to calculate the protection capacity of modern ski helmets.
