The Snell Memorial Foundation works to make sure the helmets we use in transportation and sports are made according to the specs required to protect our heads when accidents happen.


As a memorial to Pete, a group of scientists, physicians, racing colleagues and friends teamed together in a dedicated effort to promote research, education, testing and development of standards geared to improve the effectiveness of automotive racing helmets.

Through their work, the Snell Memorial Foundation was established in 1957. List of tests:

* Impact Test
* Positional Stability (Roll-Off) Test
* Dynamic Retention Test
* Chin Bar Test
* Shell Penetration Test
* Faceshield Penetration Test
* Flame Resistance Test

This video was made for NI Week 2006 as an example CompactDAQ application. I wanted to post it because it (your helmet working when you need it) is one of those things that’s easy to take for granted. Many thanks to Snell and the good work they do.
