Car headband

Car headband

The Car headband is a protective headband concept for car occupants being investigated by the Centre for Automotive Safety Research (CASR), University of Adelaide, Australia.

CASR were investigating the benefits of padding the inside of a car, which is a legal requirement in some jurisdictions. They discovered that although the head may strike any of a number of places in a car, many of which would be difficult to pad, that about half of all serious head injuries occurred to the forehead, side of the head or behind the ears. From these findings CASR embarked upon a project to develop a headband which could protect these areas of the head in a car collision.
