Road Safety Policy Tomorrow’s roads – safer for everyone Strategy launched in March 2000 First review published April 2004 Second review published mid 2007 Tomorrow’s roads – safer for everyone Strategy launched in March 2000 First review published April 2004 Second review published mid 2007

The Casualty Reduction targets By 2010: 40% reduction in all KSIs 50% reduction in child KSIs 10% reduction in the rate of slight injuries By 2010: 40% reduction in all KSIs 50% reduction in child KSIs 10% reduction in the rate of slight injuries …. and tackling the significantly higher incidence in disadvantaged communities compared to the average for

Motorcycling Safety Is a key issue for UK – separate strategy published in Feb 2005 Motorcyclists are one of our most vulnerable groups of road user – comprising just 1% of traffic in the UK but represent 19% of all road deaths. 80% of all motorcyclist fatalities and 70% of those with serious injuries, sustain head injuries.

Research COST 327 European research brought together experts from France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland and United Kingdom and completed in Key outcomes included: Location and frequency of blows to the head, Determining the speed range of survivable head impacts Recommendations for future test methods and criteria.

Research UK commissioned further studies to understand the protection provided by current helmets conforming to ECE Reg Results showed noticeable differences in the safety performance of approved helmets available in the market. Developed tests to establish which helmets provided greater safety potential than others, and objective assessment to provide purchasing information to motorcyclists.

SHARP – The Helmet Safety Scheme SHARP – the Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme – was launched in November Helmets are rated from 1- 5 stars depending on how well they perform in the laboratory tests. The tests are based on the science - reflecting current state-of-the-art in design, as well as user exposure and injury risk (COST 327).

SHARP Tests Linear Impact: twin-wire guided test based on British Standard BS 6658:1985 Helmet standard. The rig minimises the effect of energy dissipation through helmet rotation and rebound. Head forms of variable mass, as prescribed in UN-ECE Reg Impact sites based around Reg points, tested using flat and kerb anvils. Including one higher and one lower impact speed compared to Reg Oblique impact: Reg 22.05, METHOD A. Linear Impact: twin-wire guided test based on British Standard BS 6658:1985 Helmet standard.

SHARP Assessment Impacts by helmet location, COST 327 Impacts by surface type, COST 327 Reg underpins the SHARP assessment, therefore SHARP tests at ambient conditions. SHARP does not perform tests on retention systems or chin bars. Peak g recorded over 32 individual impacts performed on 7 helmets at 3 velocities. Overall helmet rating is weighted to take account of the frequency and direction of real world impacts. Reg underpins the SHARP assessment, therefore SHARP tests at ambient conditions.

Performance Differences

Dissemination Priority message is for motorcyclists to get a helmet that provides the best fit. Then consider the SHARP rating; the more SHARP stars a helmet has, the more protection it can provide. Several strands targeting manufacturers, retailers and consumers. Priority message is for motorcyclists to get a helmet that provides the best fit.

SHARP ratings Results published for 60 full face helmets on June 12. Testing continuing through 2008 to complete full face helmets (representing ~ 80% of UK sales), Moving on to system / flip front helmets and then open face. Tests valid for all types/ styles of helmet Results published for 60 full face helmets on June 12.
