Table 2:
Pendulum impact testing locations. Measurements of Y and Z-position are relative to the basic plane of the NOCSAE headform. Positive rotation in the Y-axis is away from the pendulum, and positive rotation in the Z-axis is clockwise. The X-position is set such that the helmet contacts the impactor face when the pendulum arm is in a neutral vertical position for each location.
| Location | Y (cm) | Z (cm) | Rotation Y (deg) | Rotation Z (deg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front | 0 | +5.2 | −20° | 0° |
| Front Boss | 0 | +2.2 | −25° | +67.5° |
| Side | −4 | +5.7 | −5° | −100° |
| Back | 0 | +3.7 | 0° | −180° |
