Donate Your Old Helmet to Science

Posted on | June 17, 2012 | No Comments

Does your helmet have an expiration date? Do the plastics degrade reducing it’s crash worthiness? MEA Forensic is doing testing to find out:

We plan to crash test about 1000 used helmets to understand how helmet performance degrades with time and use. Your old helmets can be part of this study.

We are accepting donations of used helmets that have not experienced a crash—anything from a helmet worn a couple times to that old helmet from the 90’s that is collecting dust in the garage. Bicycle, hockey, ski, snowboard and skateboard helmets are needed.

Thank you.
