Work Item
ASTM WK93841
Revision of F1492-22 Standard Specification for Helmets Used in Skateboarding and Trick Roller Skating
Rationale
Based on the feedback received through F1447 balloting and discussions a consensus developed to change the peak linear acceleration acceptance criteria for our bicycle helmet standards to 275g. This value addresses concerns about cost vs benefits while still reducing the forces applied to the head during a helmeted head impact.
