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.
