  • Helmets for Winter Sports

    Helmets for Winter Sports

    Community Education Helmets for Winter Sports When child skiers and snowboarders wear properly fitting helmets, they reduce their risk of head injuries by nearly half. Helmets also reduce the chance of head injuries for sledders, ice skaters, snowmobilers and hockey players. Along with keeping children safer during winter sports, helmets provide warmth. Choosing and fitting a helmet For skiing and snowboarding: Choose a certified helmet made just for snow sports. Look for a helmet that meets ASTM F2040, Snell RS-98, S-98 or CEN 1077 standards. Proper fit is a must. If you can, have a sales person help you choose and fit a helmet for your child. Bring the goggles that your child will wear on the slopes to make sure they work with the helmet you choose. Before you buy or borrow a helmet, fasten the chin strap and make sure: • You can adjust the chin strap so that no more than 1 or 2 fingers fit between the chin and strap. • The pads are flush against your child’s cheeks For sledding and ice-skating: and forehead. Although there are no helmets designed • The back of the helmet does not touch the top specifically for these sports, the American of your child’s neck. Academy of Pediatrics advises that wearing a helmet is better than not wearing one at all. • It is snug, but not tight. Choose a helmet that meets one of the following • The helmet sits level, with the front edge safety standards: being no more than 1 inch above your child’s • Bike helmet: CPSC, ASTM F1447, Snell eyebrows.

    1. Fallschirm Division Fallschirmjäger Regiment 3 Lehrbataillon 3 Kompanie

    I/FJR3 Unit Manual Version 1.0 1. Fallschirm Division Fallschirmjäger Regiment 3 Lehrbataillon 3 Kompanie Unit Manual I/FJR3 Unit Manual Version 2.0 2 Welcome to Fallschirmjäger Regiment 3! Willkommen! This Unit Manual has been designed to give you a mid-level view of FJR3, with historical background and all the information you need for starting re-enactment as a Fallschirmjäger. For a deeper view or for any questions you might have, just ask the German CO, your Unit CO, or your Fallschirmkameraden. Raison d’être The purpose of our Unit is to re-enact the experience of the Luftwaffe Paratrooper as it occurred during the Second World War. We do this through first-person interpretation at living history events, public battles, and tactical battles within the operational parameters of the Historical Re- enactment Society. Our aim is to entertain and educate, whilst we ourselves learn more about the recent past. We portray a unit from 3 Kompanie I Battalion (Lehrbatallion) Fallschirmjäger (Parachute) Regiment 3 (I/FJR3). Fallschirmjäger is usually translated as ‘Hunter from the Sky’. We chose to portray FJR3 as this Regiment fought against 2nd NZ Division on Crete, in Africa, and finally in Italy. FJR3 is absolutely NOT about politics, nor will we tolerate any individuals who wish to spread extremist views of any kind. Such persons will not be welcome in our Unit. Our members are students of history, and although we portray German Soldiers we are NOT Nazis. We wear the hakenkreutz (swastika) only because it was used throughout the Third Reich period (1933-1945) as a national symbol.

    Examination of the Impact of Helmets on the Level of Transferred Loads to the Head Under Ballistic and Blast Loads

    EXAMINATION OF THE IMPACT OF HELMETS ON THE LEVEL OF TRANSFERRED LOADS TO THE HEAD UNDER BALLISTIC AND BLAST LOADS A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Mehdi Salimi Jazi In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Major Department: Mechanical Engineering December 2014 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title Examination of the Impact of Helmets on the Level of Transferred Loads to the Head Under Ballistic and Blast Loads By Mehdi Salimi Jazi The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Dr. Ghodrat Karami Co-Chair Dr. Fardad Azarmi Co-Chair Dr. Annie Tangpong Dr. Mariusz Ziejewski Dr. M. Abdelrahman Approved: 7/10/2015 Dr. Gary Smith Date Department Chair ABSTRACT The main causes of human Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) in war zones are ballistic impacts and blast waves. While understanding the mechanism of TBI and the brain injury thresholds are in urgent needs, efficiency of helmets as injury protective is not well-examined. To address these gaps, this study investigates the impact of ballistic helmets and padding systems on the biomechanical responses of the brain under dynamic ballistics and blasts loads. A nonlinear human head-neck finite element modeling procedure has been employed for the analysis. The results are examined against de-facto standard experimental data. The response of the finite element head model (FEHM) in terms of biomechanical parameters of the brain has been examined to measure the influence of padding system materials on the level of the loads transferred to the head.
  • Alpine Helmet Regulations

    Alpine Helmet Regulations

    October 2015 USSA and FIS Helmet Regulations During the USSA Congress in May 2015, the Alpine Sport Committee passed regulations updating the requirement for U14 and older athletes related to the use of helmets for GS, SG and DH meeting the new FIS standards. Following are the complete USSA helmet regulations including those changes as published in the 2016 Alpine Competition Guide. Equipment is the responsibility of the athlete and in the case of a minor, their parents or guardians. Equipment must be maintained and utilized in accordance with manufacturer’s instruction. In FIS competitions, international competition rules will apply. Helmets designed and manufactured for the particular event of ski racing being contested are required for all competitors and forerunners in all USSA events and official training. Helmets must bear a CE mark and conform to recognized and appropriate standards such as CEH.Din 1077, ASTM F2040, SNELL S98 or RS 98. The CE mark (pictured here) shall be affixed in a non-removable way on the back of the helmet in a visible location not covered by the goggle strap. Athletes U14 and older must use helmets that meet the new FIS standards for all USSA GS, SG and DH competitions. In Kombi competitions, athletes must use the helmet that meets the standards for the faster discipline being contested. Helmets must cover the head and ears. Helmets with spoilers or edges that stick out are not permitted. Protective features integral to the event being contested, such as chin guards on SL helmets are permitted. Soft ear protection is only permitted for helmets used in SL.
  • Bicycle Helmets Do Not Stop Closed Head Injuries

    Bicycle Helmets Do Not Stop Closed Head Injuries

    Bicycle helmets do not stop closed head injuries Question: Do you find that children that have bicycle injuries are protected from head injuries if they wear a helmet? Answer: Bicycle helmets are a great means of protecting your child’s head from external damage but any hard traumatic impact will have negative consequences for the skull and brain. Although your skull protects your brain it still can move within its confines. In fact, it moves with every respiratory cycle. I find that many children and adults do not wear their helmet correctly, whether it is a bike, motorcycle, football, or a ski helmet. The helmet should be firm and snug around the skull and any straps should be pulled tight to the chin. The helmet should move with the direction of your head and not opposite or flop forward or backward. Helmet technology has grown extensively over the last ten years, developing lighter yet more shock resistant materials. The progress does nothing to prevent close head injuries unfortunately. We see numerous concussions from even mild falls with properly worn helmets. Your brain is extremely sensitive to movement. Besides the hard exterior skull it is protected by meninges, which are very strong elastic coverings of your brain and spine. Your brain and its coverings are enriched with blood supply. Trauma creates swelling which can lead to bleeding in the meninges, brain or spine. Even the smallest vessel fracture is considered a serious condition. A fracture to the skull is even more severe because it exposes the brain to an unstable state.

[L. art (artis), art and factus, pp. of facere, to make.] 1. something produced by human work. Artifacts are items made or modified by humans. As part of the material culture of a particular time period, artifacts help piece together the story of the past. Things like cell phones, car keys, water bottles, and flip flops are examples of material culture today. While some of these items may seem trivial or commonplace, hundreds of years from now these items will provide historians and archaeologists with valuable insights into our lives. By analyzing the artifacts of World War II, students can better piece together what life was like in that time period. Why Artifacts? Students and Artifacts: Working with artifacts encourages students to: 1. identify and interpret primary source materials to increase understanding of events and times 2. make connections between past and present 3. evaluate and discuss issues orally and in writing 4.

In 1918, as the First World War was about to end, the United States, and the World, experienced a devastating disease. Millions of people worldwide died during the Influenza Pandemic that first hit during the spring of 1918, and then with full-force in the fall.
